Dell PowerVault™ MD1000
Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
The PowerVault™ MD1000 is capable of housing up to 15x 3.5-inch hard disk drives in
a single 3U rackable chassis. The direct-attached storage enclosure supports both
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) disk drives for extensive
configuration and optimization flexibility.

Used in combination with a host-based Dell PowerEdge RAID controller (PERC) the
modular enclosure can be daisy chained for scaling disk performance and capacity.
The PERC 6/E enables up to three 15-drive SAS disk enclosures—a total of 45 drives—
to be daisy chained to a single host connection, delivering an extended total
capacity of 90TB when using 2TB disk drives.

CyberBunker offers the Dell PowerVault™ MD1000 DAS in a variety of options to suit your organizations' specific computing needs. Since CyberBunker offers complete hardware customization, you can configure your Dell PowerVault™ MD1000 to meet
your unique price and processing specifications below.

Dell PowerVault™ MD1000
Direct Attached Storage (DAS) (Hard Drive Array)

The PowerVault MD1000 enables you to mix SAS and SATA drives delivering excellent flexibility to align data requirements with drive capabilities, speed, capacity and cost, to help optimize your storage environment.

SAS for Performance - SAS can deliver the speed, performance and reliability to satisfy mainstream single server applications. SAS performance makes it ideal for demanding server applications such as email or database applications that store active and frequently changing information.

SATA for Capacity - SATA disk drives deliver a compelling cost-per-Gigabyte alternative to SAS. SATA drives are ideal high capacity applications where data is accessed and modified less frequently, such as digital imaging, file archiving, audio/video storage, or back-up to disk applications.

The PowerVault MD1000 disk storage is designed and engineered to be used with a host server such as the Dell PowerEdge 1950 dedicated rack server.
