High-performance, high-capacity DAS

The Lenovo Storage D1212 has the flexibility and capacity to handle many different types of workloads. You can start with one D1212 enclosure containing up to 12x 3.5-inch drives as a simple JBOD, and later daisy-chain up to 8 enclosures per SAS Chain (using multiple ports). One chain supports up to 96 drives.

Supported drives include 10,000rpm and 7,200rpm HDDs, secure self-encrypting 7,200rpm SED HDDs, and high-performance/high-capacity SSDs for read-intensive workloads. The D1212 supports RAID-0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60, using a variety of RAID HBAs. A single chain can contain a combination of HDDs and SSDs with multiple speeds and capacities. If 15,000rpm and 2.5-inch HDDs are required, D1224 expansion units may be included in the chain.

Highlights

• SAS zoning support up to 6 hosts with Y cables
• A simple, affordable, easy-to-deploy storage expansion solution.
• Use one D1212 as a stand-alone JBOD, or daisy-chain up to 7 more per SAS Chain. This provides access for up to 96 HDDs or SSDs using only one HBA.
• Up to 8 D1212 enclosures are supported per SAS Chain
• Each D1212 contains 12 hot-swap 3.5-inch bays, supporting HDDs and SSDs. This means a maximum of 96 drives/960TB(Risk to change to 768TB)supported per SAS Chain
• Available drives include enterprise-class 10,000rpm SAS HDDs, high-capacity nearline (NL) 7,200rpm SAS HDDs, and high-performance/high-capacity SAS SSDs.
• Standard models include dual SAS I/O modules. Each module includes three 12Gb SAS ports (IN and OUT)—four total per enclosure. Using only two ports enables an enclosure to be daisy-chained to the ones before and after it. Using both SAS IO modules enables high availability.
• Integrates seamlessly with all Lenovo servers.
• High availability via dual I/O modules, redundant PSUs, and hot-swap drives.
• An effective storage solution for workloads such as data backup, data caching, video surveillance, media streaming, email hosting, server virtualization, file management, and print serving.
• Ideal for cost-sensitive customers, space-constrained environments, current and future high-capacity needs, and server/storage virtualization. It reduces the burden on over utilized internal server storage, and offers extreme capacity for archive and cold storage solutions.
• Shares common parts with the D1224 DAS unit for I/O modules and PCMs.
