SCSI solutions from Dell support both 10,000 RPM and 15,000 RPM spindle speeds and several variations of capacities to allow customers the maximum degree of flexibility. For the latest information of support for specific hard drives, please visit the Dell Storage web site at: http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/storage. 3rd Party Hardware support Dell development teams spend a significant amount of time testing and qualifying SCSI hard drives and PERC controllers with PowerVault 22xS, and PERC controllers (as well as PowerEdge servers), to ensure the highest quality products. As a result of this testing, hard drives purchased direct from Dell can include upgrades not generally available to the rest of the industry. As such, Dell supports only Dell tested and qualified hardware. In order to help ensure the best possible customer experience, Dell highly recommends purchasing all hardware direct from Dell for the PowerVault 22xS, PowerEdge servers or any other Dell products. All hardware (disk drives, RAID controllers, cables, power supplies) purchased direct from Dell carries the Dell limited warranty1 and helps ensure full compatibility. Materials purchased from 3rd party vendors for use in Dell systems are not protected by a Dell warranty and may not deliver an acceptable customer experience. Server Support Dell PowerVault SCSI Solutions support all PowerEdge, PowerVault NAS and many PowerEdge SC servers. This adds tremendous value by delivering a single integrated Enterprise solution that leverages industry standard hardware platforms and a common management framework for customers' server and storage solutions. 1For a copy of our guarantees or limited warranties, please write Dell USA L.P., Attn: Warranties, One Dell Way, Round Rock, TX 78682.
