PowerVault MD1200: The Dell™ PowerVault™ MD1200 expansion enclosure is optimized to satisfy applications that use lots of capacity and move large amounts of data. It is the first Dell enclosure that allows you to mix and match 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives in a 2-unit, 12-drive solution. Figure 1: Power Vault MD1200 Seamless server expansion for 6Gb/s SAS environmentsSupports mainstream and capacity-intensive applications such as e-mail, backup to disk, and video streamingDeployment and drive versatility good for investment protection and data tiering PowerVault MD1220: The PowerVault MD1220 expansion enclosure is designed to support high-performance applications such as e-mail or database applications that store active and frequently changing information. The PowerVault MD1220 is Dell’s energy-efficient modular storage array and the first modular enclosure that can expand to support 192 drives including Solid State Drives (SSDs).
