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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0060a9;\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f8fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;font-weight:bold;width:40%;\"\u003eForm Factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003e2U Rackmount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eDrive Bays\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003e12 x 3.5-inch hot-swap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f8fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eDrive Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003eSAS \/ SATA (6Gbps)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eHost Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003e2 x Mini-SAS SFF-8088\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f8fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eEMM Controllers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003e2 (dual, redundant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;font-weight:bold;\"\u003ePower Supplies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003e2 x redundant PSU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f8fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eDrives Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003eNone (No Drives)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003e12 months (Reboot IT)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0060a9;\"\u003eIs It Right for You?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f8fc;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;text-align:left;color:#0060a9;\"\u003eBest For ✓\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;text-align:left;color:#cc0000;\"\u003eNot For ✗\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003eExpanding capacity on a Dell PowerEdge server\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003eStandalone use without a SAS RAID controller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f8fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003eBackup and archive storage expansion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003eNon-Dell environments without Mini-SAS HBAs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003eVirtualisation cluster storage growth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003eUsers needing drives included out of the box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#0060a9;\"\u003eCondition Grades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#0060a9;color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #0060a9;text-align:left;\"\u003eGrade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #0060a9;text-align:left;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eA — Excellent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003eMinimal marks, chassis and backplane in excellent condition with all bays and connectors fully functional.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f8fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eB — Good\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #dde4ed;\"\u003eLight wear on chassis, all bays and connectors fully functional.
