PowerEdge 2900 Direct Attached Storage Array

I have inherited and repurposed as an FTP server, a PowerEdge 2900 with Windows 2003 Server.

It originally had 6x 73Gig SAS drives installed.

0 & 1 were mirrored as the C: drive.

2, 3, 4 & 5 were in a 3:1 array as the D: drive.

I have replaced the drives in array D: with 6x 2.0TB drives that are in a 5:1 array.

This gives me the original C: drive with the OS on it and a ~9TB array for my FTP site.

This server has an Adaptec SCSI 39320A-Ultra 320 SCSI card installed in it.

I am looking for a 2ru or 3ru Direct Attached Storage Array that I can connect to the PowerEdge 2900.

Does DELL make a compatible product???

I have been unable to find a device that has the same connector as the SCSI 39320A card.

Thanks for any help. Jason

    Hello Jason,

    Dell currently doesn’t have any attached storage arrays that use a 68pin SCSI.  What you would need to do is to change your SCSI card to a PERC card and then you can get either an MD1000 or an MD1200.  

    Now many years ago Dell did sell attached storage arrays that did use the 68pin SCSI connections but those system have been end of life for a while now.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.
