Dell’s new PowerVault® MD1120 storage array is built for efficiency! Providing up to 12 TB of storage in a single 2U enclosure, it uses the new Seagate Constellation™ HDDs which only takes 2.4 Watts of energy for each drive in the system. Best used in space-constrained environments, its modular SAS architecture provides an easy-to-deploy, high performance storage expansion for a direct-attached storage (DAS) solution.
Top notch performance too! Earlier this year, Dell and Seagate ran the real-world system-level SPC-1C benchmarks published by the Storage Performance Council.  The benchmark measures complex random-I/O performance.  Results showed a 93% higher performance over a 3.5-inch solution. At 2.9 times the performance per unit of rack space, the solution provides just the right mix of performance density for data hungry applications. Read the entire article published this month in Dell’s Power Solutions Magazine. There are other SPC benchmark tests including the new SPC-1C/E which measures energy efficiency too. Pete Steege does a great job explaining this.
