Description

Dell PowerVault MD1120 — 12-Bay SAS JBOD Storage Enclosure

The Dell PowerVault MD1120 is a 2U 12-bay 3.5-inch SAS JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) storage enclosure designed to expand capacity for Dell PowerEdge servers and MD3xxx RAID controllers. Featuring dual EMM controllers, 6Gbps SAS connectivity, and redundant power supplies, this unit ships with a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

  • 12-Bay Drive Capacity: Twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap bays accept SAS and SATA drives for flexible storage configuration.
  • 6Gbps SAS Interface: High-speed 6Gbps SAS connectivity ensures fast data throughput between the enclosure and host RAID controllers.
  • Dual EMM Controllers: Two Enclosure Management Modules provide redundant management paths and eliminate single points of failure.
  • Redundant Power Supplies: Dual PSUs keep the enclosure running through a single power supply failure without interruption.
  • Hot-Swap Drive Bays: All 12 bays support hot-swap operation for drive replacement without powering down the system.
  • Dell Ecosystem Compatible: Designed to integrate with Dell PowerEdge servers and MD3xxx RAID controllers via Mini-SAS SFF-8088 cabling.

Performance in Use

The MD1120 is purpose-built for expanding storage capacity in existing Dell server environments. Connected to a PowerEdge server via a 6Gbps SAS RAID controller, it provides up to 12 additional 3.5-inch drive bays — enough to add tens of terabytes of spinning SAS or SATA capacity without replacing the primary server chassis.

In practice, organisations use the MD1120 to extend backup repositories, add archive storage to virtualisation clusters, or expand capacity behind a software-defined storage stack. The dual EMM controllers allow management path redundancy — if one controller fails, the second takes over seamlessly, making the MD1120 suited to production environments where storage availability is critical.

The hot-swap bays let administrators replace failed drives during business hours without scheduling downtime, and the redundant PSUs mean a single power supply failure does not interrupt operations. Drives are not included, giving you the flexibility to populate the enclosure with whatever capacity and drive type best fits your workload.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the MD1120 include drives?

No — the MD1120 is sold as an empty enclosure with no drives installed. You populate it with your own 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives.

What servers is the MD1120 compatible with?

The MD1120 connects to Dell PowerEdge servers equipped with a 6Gbps SAS HBA or RAID controller (such as the PERC H200, H300, or H800) using Mini-SAS SFF-8088 cables.

What is the difference between the MD1120 and MD1220?

The MD1120 holds 12 x 3.5-inch drives (large-format SAS/SATA HDDs), while the MD1220 holds 24 x 2.5-inch drives (smaller SAS/SATA HDDs or SSDs). Choose the MD1120 for high-capacity spinning storage, the MD1220 for denser SSD configurations.

Are Mini-SAS cables included?

Cable inclusions vary by unit. Please check the listing description or contact us before purchase if cables are required.

How does shipping work?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.

12-Month Warranty — Reboot IT

Every Dell PowerVault MD1120 we sell comes with a full 12-month warranty backed by Reboot IT, a Melbourne-based IT equipment specialist operating since 2001. Each unit is professionally cleaned, tested, and graded before dispatch. If anything goes wrong within 12 months due to a manufacturing fault, we will repair or replace it at no cost.

All-in-one Solution for Home Office

I was looking for an in-expensive all-in-one solution for my home office to replace my existing desktop and monitor. I found this EliteOne 800 on reboot IT for under $200. I wasn't sure what to expect. It arrived within two days!!!! I upgraded the RAM, replaced the HDD and installed Windows 11. This is unbeatable value and was the cheapest price online. Coupled with a 3-month warranty, Reboot IT are by far the best online refurbished retailer I have used. Awesome!

Fair tech for price

Fair tech for price, good specs for era, serves the purpose. The black keyboard is an interesting rubber like texture clearly by design to pad the screen and avoid the keyboard touching. Screen is great. Still looking for magic formula to enable computer use in the bright bright sunshine. Keyboard taps are loud for someone who likes silent touch. The perfect PC has to exist, like build a bear.

Works excellently as advertised.

The laptop was sold with a warning about worn keycaps. In fact they had been obviously vandalised (ex school laptops, perhaps?). The keyboard worked fine, and the rest of the laptop too. I'm using it as a file server, so I don't need the keyboard much. So very pleased, and also pleased with reboot-it's service - as always, excellent, and quick responses to any queries.
