Product overview
This is the NetApp 24-Bay 3.5in SAS disk shelf, order code DS4246. Drives, carriers and the enclosure are separate line items, and a shelf that arrives without carriers cannot be populated. Tell us the drive count and we will quote the whole shelf.
Quote requests are answered within 48 business hours, with availability confirmed before you raise a purchase order rather than after.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against DS4246 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Carriers counted with the drives
Enclosure, carriers and disks are quoted as one line so the shelf can actually be populated on arrival.
Supported by the head unit
We confirm the shelf is on the controller’s supported list, not merely that the cable fits.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is DS4246 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes, new and sealed, with the NetApp warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
Will DS4246 work in my server?
Send us the server model or service tag and we will confirm before you order. Part numbers alone do not always settle it: firmware revision and platform generation matter, and this is the check that prevents a return.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.
