Keeping pace with the latest technology

The new 12Gb SAS controllers offer the latest technology in high-speed connectivity. The MD3 models offer improved performance and double the existing bandwidth. Your data should be available when you need it. The MD3 Series offers 8GB cache on dual-controller options in SAS, providing up to 16 GB total cache per array. The next generation of MD3 has the efficiency you need to meet your demanding I/O requirements. You get high availability and high performance without sacrificing ease of use.

Versatile options your way

Reduce the effort required to store and manage your data. The MD3 Series is available in 12 x 3.5” hard drive or 24 x 2.5” hard drive form factors, or in the high-density enclosure that holds up to 60 x 2.5” or 3.5” hard drives. And because your storage needs are almost guaranteed to grow, capacity can be added as you need it. The 12- and 24-drive form factors can scale up to 120 drives when attached to the PowerVault MD1200 or MD1220 expansion enclosure. The 60-HDD array can expand to 120 drives with its own, specially designed high-density enclosure.
