SCSI Hard Drive Support
PowerVault disk-based storage solutions (such as the PowerVault 220S) support the
latest SCSI hard drives, currently specified as Ultra 320 SCSI. SCSI solutions from Dell
support both 10,000 RPM and 15,000 RPM spindle speeds and several variations of
capacities to allow customers the maximum degree of flexibility. For the latest information
of support for specific hard drives, please visit the Dell Storage web site at:
http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/storage .
3 rd Party Hardware support
Dell development teams spend a significant amount of time testing and qualifying SCSI
hard drives and PERC controllers with PowerVault 22xS, and PERC controllers (as well
as PowerEdge servers), to ensure the highest quality products. As a result of this testing,
hard drives purchased direct from Dell can include upgrades not generally available to the
rest of the industry. As such, Dell supports only Dell tested and qualified hardware. In
order to help ensure the best possible customer experience, Dell highly recommends
purchasing all hardware direct from Dell for the PowerVault 22xS, PowerEdge servers or
any other Dell products. All hardware (disk drives, RAID controllers, cables, power
supplies) purchased direct from Dell carries the Dell limited warranty
1 and helps ensure full
compatibility. Materials purchased from 3 rd party vendors for use in Dell systems are not
protected by a Dell warranty and may not deliver an acceptable customer experience.
Server Support
Dell PowerVault SCSI Solutions support all PowerEdge, PowerVault NAS and many
PowerEdge SC servers. This adds tremendous value by delivering a single integrated
Enterprise solution that leverages industry standard hardware platforms and a common
management framework for customers’ server and storage solutions.
