PowerEdge FD332 storage sled
Enabling massive direct attached storage, the FD332 delivers the capacity to run your data-heavy workloads in the FX2 chassis.

Flexible storage density for datacenter applictations
Tailor your workload data demands with right-sized storage blocks for your architecture needs, such as a centralized storage area network (SAN) or direct-attached storage (DAS).The FD332 storage block enables applications to access up to 48 small form factor drives within a 2U chassis for high-density storage applications. It is ideal when latency and performance are key as it brings storage close to compute for accelerated processing.
Drives can be added during normal operations, so that you can implement an efficient pay-as-you-grow model.

Boost performance with highly flexible, scale-out storage blocks
Rapidly scale dense Direct Attached Storage (DAS) and Software-Defined Storage (SDS) applications in your FX infrastructures with the 1U FD332 storage module. Create a storage environment that supports balanced data growth on an as-needed basis. Avoid overprovisioning by scaling your storage needs to the workloads you are running. With support for SAS and SATA HDD/SSDs you can readily adapt to the performance needs of your applications.
Sustain your business and grow with intelligent automation
Make IT operations more efficient and your FX infrastructure more productive and reliable with Dell EMC systems management. Take advantage of OpenManage systems management portfolio used across other PowerEdge servers with the FX2, or leverage the embedded chassis management.- Perform automated deployments, updates and configurations with agent-free iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller.
- Simplify with the new OpenManage Enterprise console, with custom reports and automatic discovery.
- Enable easy collective or individual server management with the embedded Chassis Management Controller (CMC).
