DELL Storage SC280 Data Storage System

The Dell Storage SC280 is an ultra-dense expansion enclosure designed specifically for the Dell Compellent SC8000 series. It sets a new standard for storage density, offering up to 2.8 times more capacity per rack unit than competing solutions. In a 5U chassis, the SC280 can house up to 84 x 3.5-inch SAS drives, delivering a massive 504 TB of raw storage per enclosure. This module is the ultimate platform for high-capacity SAN and NAS environments, large-scale replication, and big data workloads. By consolidating vast amounts of data into a single, high-density footprint, the SC280 significantly reduces the total cost of ownership and physical space requirements in the data center.
