At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

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.
