Dell has added two new drive capacity options to their PS4000X and PS6000X 10K SAS arrays.
The new 450GB and 600GB drives are available with immediate effect, and increase the usable capacity of a single appliance to 2.7TB and 3.6TB respectively in a performance optimised RAID 10 configuration, and an impressive 5.5TB and 6.2TB in a capacity optimised RAID 50 deployment.
The 10K SAS tier offers a cost effective route to high performance, alongside the highest single appliance SAS capacity in the PS Series. Offering approximately double the performance of SATA disk, a single 10K SAS 'X' appliance will comfortably accomodate a virtual environment of a reasonable size, including some high transactional workloads.
With the introduction of the 450GB drives, it is reasonable to expect that the 400GB 10K SAS drives may be dropped in the near future.
