PowerVault MD3200 Series
- Putting the Power back in PowerVault
Ecient Power, Less Energy
Dell PowerVault MD3200 series are committed making the world greener. With power supplies that meet 80 PLUS power eciency standards, you can expect lower overall annual energy expenditure with MD3200 series.
Turbo Mode for Enterprise Performance
Turbo mode is an optional feature introduced in MD3200 series. If have bandwidth-oriented, mixed (consolidated) workloads, or virtualization applications, turbo mode can make a dierence for larger-scaled transactional applications that would benet from an extra performance kick. Turbo dynamically increases the speed of access doubling throughput & increasing IOPS by 30%.
Reengineered, Redesigned
Its hard to believe we could deliver breakthrough of technology in the new MD3200 & MD3200i storage. We have reengineered the storage to support 2x the host support, 2x the performance 2x the scalability. What else! New design, sleek 2U design with cools bezel.
Does More for Less
The available 6Gb/s SAS technology of the MD3200 can improve data processing by 100%, so data access can be even more faster. Even more, the MD3200 continues to deliver more for less commitment, we have improved the hardware management, energy eciency, administration, backup/restore, etc.
Strong Security, Better Protection
With virtually no eort from the storage administrator, MD3200 & MD3200i support self encrypting drives (SEDs) that allow you to secure your data-at-rest. With this support of SEDs, data on the drive is secured throughout its lifecycle.

Now with Security, Self Encrypting Drive (SED)
SED will be part of the new Premium Features introduce in MD3200. SED works like a lock; you will need the key to unlock. Once the data is protected it will be locked, without a key you will not be able to open the data. Even the drive was turn o does not means data are not protected is still under secured mode. SED WAS DESIGNED TO PROTECT DATA SINCE THE FIRST BYTE IS WRITTEN TO THE DRIVE!

Technology Value Proposition
Technology Denition
Flexible intermix between SAS/NL SAS/SSD/SEDs in a single enclosure. 2.5 and 3.5 drive enclosures can also be intermixed behind a single array.
Customer Value
Intermix avoid customer to purchase multiple arrays to meet individual workload requirement. Whether your customer requires high performance, high capacity and low cost, security or great IOPs per watt, the MD3200/MD3200i can meet all of their requirements. and 3.5 drive enclosures can also be intermixed behind a single array.
