Using Dell M1000e blade with external storage
I have a question about using storage with Dell M1000e. Please tell me what disk array Dell recommended to using with m1000e, can I connect to it directly powervault md3200, md1020 ?

This depends on the blade server model you have.
Only the M610x supports regular PCIe expansion cards, including a PERC H800 (to connect an MD1220) or SAS6E (to connect an MD3200). This blade is a full height blade though.
If you don't have this type of blade server and/or don't want to sacrifice a full height slot, you only have 2 choices to attach to storage; iSCSI (over fabric B1/B2 or fabric C1/C2) or fiber channel (also over fabric B or C).
