Data Storage and Management
The Dell MD1200 is a 2U rack-mountable drive enclosure designed for use in enterprise data storage environments. It provides a scalable solution for expanding storage capacity by allowing users to add up to 12 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives. The MD1200 supports both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives, and can accommodate up to 24TB of storage in a single enclosure.
In terms of data management, the MD1200 is designed to work seamlessly with other Dell PowerVault storage arrays, allowing users to easily manage their storage environment from a single console. The enclosure features hot-swappable drive bays, so users can easily replace failed drives without downtime. Additionally, the MD1200 supports a variety of data protection features, including RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50, to help ensure that data is protected against disk failure and data loss.
The MD1200 supports multiple host connections, making it easy to share storage across multiple servers. It also features a dual-controller design, which provides redundancy and improved performance by balancing the load between two controllers.
In terms of data access, the MD1200 supports SAS and SATA drives, so users can choose the right drives for their needs based on performance, capacity, and cost. Additionally, the enclosure supports a variety of protocols, including iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and NFS, so users can choose the right protocol for their environment.
Maximum Drive Capacity and Scalability
The Dell MD1200 drive enclosure is a 2U rack-mountable expansion array that provides scalable and flexible storage solutions for data centers. It supports both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drives and has a maximum drive capacity of 12 drives per unit.
The scalability of the MD1200 drive enclosure is achieved through the use of multiple units that can be added to the existing setup as the data storage requirements grow. Each unit can be managed individually, and the data can be aggregated through the use of a storage area network (SAN) solution. This allows organizations to easily expand their storage capacity without having to invest in a completely new storage solution.
In terms of maximum drive capacity, the Dell MD1200 supports up to 12 drives per unit, providing a maximum storage capacity of up to 96TB (using 8TB hard drives). This makes it suitable for organizations with growing storage requirements, as it provides ample space for data storage, and can be easily expanded as needed.
High Availability and Redundancy
High availability and redundancy are important factors in ensuring that data storage systems remain operational even in the event of hardware failures or other disruptions. The Dell MD1200 Drive Enclosure 2U Rack-Mountable Expansion Array is designed to provide both high availability and redundancy, helping to ensure that stored data is always accessible and protected.
One of the key features of the MD1200 is its redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fans, which provide automatic failover in the event of a hardware failure. This means that even if one of the power supplies or fans fails, the system will continue to operate normally and will not disrupt data access.
Additionally, the MD1200 supports multiple arrays, allowing for multiple data storage options and further increasing the overall availability of the system. This means that if one array fails, data can be accessed from another array without interruption.
The MD1200 also includes redundant SAS expansion ports, which allow for additional arrays to be added as needed. This allows for even greater data storage capacity and redundancy, ensuring that even if one array fails, there is still another array available to provide access to stored data.
