Product Description

The Dell SC220 Compellent SC220 represents a significant upgrade in storage density and performance for Dell's enterprise storage solutions. This expansion shelf is specifically engineered to provide a high-capacity, high-performance storage tier, leveraging the latest SAS 12Gb/s interface for rapid data access. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing Compellent SC220 storage systems, offering a straightforward path to scale storage resources. This unit is equipped with twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS hard drives, each offering a substantial 1.8TB of capacity. This configuration allows for a total raw storage potential of up to 43.2TB per shelf, making it suitable for data-intensive applications, large databases, and extensive virtual machine deployments. The 12Gb/s SAS interface ensures that data can be transferred at maximum speeds, reducing latency and improving overall application responsiveness. Included with the SC220 are two SC2 modules, which serve as the control and connectivity backbone for the expansion shelf. These modules provide redundancy and manage the communication between the host system and the drives. The shelf features a 2U rackmount design for efficient use of data center space and supports hot-swappable drives, enabling maintenance and capacity expansion without interrupting operations. The SC220 is a key component for organizations seeking to expand their Compellent storage infrastructure with high-performance, high-capacity drives.
