The Dell PowerVault ME424 is an exceptional storage array that offers high-speed data transfer and ample cache memory for optimal performance. With 8GB of cache in the 24 2.5" SSDs chassis, this storage array is designed to meet the needs of small businesses that require a reliable and efficient storage solution.

PowerVault ME412 and ME424 expansion enclosures can only be used with either ME*012 or ME*024 base arrays.

Expansion Options (ME412, ME424, ME484)
3 port 12Gb SAS Expansion Module

6 x 12Gb SAS ports per array
These same chassis form factors are used for the supported expansion enclosures; but with I/O modules instead of controller modules. To make this system an expansion Array you simply need to install the 3-port 12Gb IOM SAS Module in the rear of the system. With this new I/O Module installed you can daisy chain up to 9 2U or 3 5U Systems to the ME4024 SAN Storage Array.

Rule SAS 10GBaseT iSCSI CNC
System maximum is up to 4 PB or 336 disk drives, whichever comes first. For example:
  • 336 disk drives x 12 TB = 4 PB
  • 252 disk drives x 16 TB = 4 PB
  • 224 disk drives x 18 TB = 4 PB
X X X
Up to nine additional ME412/ME424 expansion enclosures or three ME484 expansion enclosures are supported. A combination of ME412/ME424 and ME484 expansion enclosures is not supported.
  • 2U12 storage system + nine 2U12 expansion enclosures = 120 disk drives
  • 2U12 storage system + nine 2U24 expansion enclosures = 228 disk drives
  • 2U12 storage system + three 5U84 expansion enclosures = 264 disk drives
  • 2U24 storage system + nine 2U12 expansion enclosures = 132 disk drives
  • 2U24 storage system + nine 2U24 expansion enclosures = 240 disk drives
  • 2U24 storage system + three 5U84 expansion enclosures = 276 disk drives

Embedded SMI-S provider:
  • Maximum mapping paths (where a path is a volume that is presented through a host port to an initiator) = 250
  • SMI-S is not supported for a system with 5U84 enclosures

Presenting the same volume (LUN) through FC AND iSCSI to one or more hosts or host groups is not supported.

The ME4012 and ME4024 base arrays are available in non-dense configurations starting at 2U, while the dense ME4084 array starts at 5U. Both models include dual controllers with Dual-core Intel Xeon processors, 8GB per controller, and 4x10Gb iSCSI, 4x12Gb SAS, and 4x16Gb FC network connections (auto-negotiation supported on iSCSI and FC). ME4084 storage systems support up to three ME484 expansion enclosures.
