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 MD3220 — 2U 24-Bay SAS RAID Storage Array

The Dell PowerVault MD3220 is a 2U rack-mounted SAS storage enclosure built for enterprise data management. With dual RAID controllers, 24 x 2.5" drive bays, redundant hot-swap power supplies, and a 6Gbps SAS host interface, it delivers the availability and throughput your critical workloads demand — all backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

  • 24 Drive Bays: Accommodate up to 24 x 2.5" SAS or SATA drives for massive, scalable storage capacity in a compact 2U footprint.
  • Dual RAID Controllers: Active-active dual controllers eliminate single points of failure and deliver consistent throughput under concurrent I/O load.
  • 6Gbps SAS Host Interface: High-speed SAS connectivity integrates directly with Dell PowerEdge servers and SAS HBA cards for fast, reliable data transfer.
  • Redundant Hot-Swap PSU: Two hot-swappable power supply units ensure uninterrupted operation — replace a failed PSU without taking the array offline.
  • 2U Rack-Mount Design: Compact enterprise form factor fits standard 19-inch data centre racks, maximising storage density while minimising rack space.
  • Enterprise-Grade Reliability: Engineered for 24/7 continuous operation in production environments with demanding I/O workloads.

Performance in Use

The MD3220 was engineered for environments where storage reliability is non-negotiable. Dual controllers operate in active-active mode, distributing I/O across both paths — and if one controller encounters a fault, the other takes over instantly without interrupting live operations. This makes the MD3220 a natural fit for virtualisation hosts (VMware vSphere, Hyper-V), database servers, and high-availability file servers running round-the-clock workloads.

With 24 x 2.5" bays supporting both SAS and SATA drives, you have the flexibility to build tiered storage pools — high-performance SAS drives for your hot tier, cost-effective SATA for warm or archive data. The 6Gbps SAS fabric supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 configurations with sufficient bandwidth for simultaneous reads and writes from multiple connected hosts.

For organisations running Dell PowerEdge infrastructure, the MD3220 integrates seamlessly via SAS HBA using Dell's MD Storage Manager software. Whether you're expanding an existing SAN, building a new direct-attached storage cluster, or staging data for backup and archiving, this unit is designed to grow with your environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do drives come included with the MD3220?

No — this unit ships with all 24 bays empty. You will need to source 2.5" SAS or SATA drives separately to populate the array.

What servers is the MD3220 compatible with?

The MD3220 connects to Dell PowerEdge servers via a 6Gbps SAS HBA. It can also work with non-Dell servers that have a compatible SAS host bus adapter. Dell MD Storage Manager software is required for RAID configuration and management.

What RAID levels are supported?

The MD3220 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Dual controllers allow active-active I/O distribution across both paths for maximum throughput and redundancy.

What drive types does the MD3220 accept?

The MD3220 accepts 2.5" SAS and SATA drives. SAS up to 1.2TB and SATA up to 4TB per bay are supported depending on firmware version. SAS and SATA can be mixed across different virtual disk groups.

Does this unit have redundant power?

Yes — the MD3220 includes two hot-swap power supply units (600W each). If one PSU fails, the unit continues operating on the second without interruption. Both PSUs are present and operational in this unit.

How does this item ship?

This unit weighs 15kg and ships as a freight item. Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.

Is this covered by a warranty?

Yes — every unit includes a 12-month warranty from Reboot IT. We are a Melbourne-based IT equipment specialist operating since 2001. If anything fails within 12 months, we fix it or replace it.
