Description
The #MD3060e is a 4U SAS dense enclosure that holds up to 60 2.5″ or 3.5″ drives, expandable to 240 drives (2.4 PB) behind a single PowerEdge server via up to four chained enclosures. It supports mixed media—NL-SAS, SAS, SSD, SED—and hot-swap modules (drives, fans, PSUs, EMMs) for uninterrupted operations. MD3060e connects via 6 Gbps SAS HBAs to deliver high-density DAS at an affordable cost Dell.
The PowerVault ME5 Series brings hybrid and all-flash SAN arrays in compact 2U/1U form factors. The ME5012 (2U, 12 bays) and ME5024 (2U, 24 bays) balance HDD and SSD tiers with RAID 0/1/5/6/10 and dynamic tiering for mixed workloads Wikipedia. The ME412 (1U, 12 bays) and ME424 (1U, 24 bays) target flash-first deployments, with NVMe back-end in ME424 for ultra-low latency. High-density flash arrays ME484 (1U, 24 SSD bays) and ME5048 (2U, 48 SSD bays) support end-to-end NVMe over Fabrics for real-time analytics and VDI.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How do I expand an ME5024 array?
You can attach up to four MD1280 (12 bay) or MD1400 (24 bay) shelves via 12 Gbps SAS cables for non-disruptive capacity growth Wikipedia.Q2: What drives are supported in MD3060e?
MD3060e accepts NL-SAS, SAS, SSD, and Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) in 2.5″ or 3.5″ formats, mix-and-match within the same enclosure.Q3: Can ME424 run NVMe over Fabrics?
Yes—ME424’s NVMe back-end supports NVMe over Fabrics (RoCE) for low-latency, high-throughput NVMe storage networks Wikipedia.Q4: Is the MD3060e compatible with NVMe drives?
No—MD3060e is a 6 Gbps SAS enclosure and does not support NVMe drives; NVMe is provided in ME-series flash models like ME484 and ME5048. -
