Product overview
Dell lists MD1420 as a 24x drives hot pluggable 2.5-Inch storage Enclosure. An expansion shelf has to be supported by the head unit's firmware, not merely cabled to it. Tell us the controller and we will confirm the shelf is on its supported list.
We return an itemised quote within 48 business hours, and we say plainly when a part is constrained rather than quoting a date we cannot hold.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against MD1420 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is MD1420 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. It ships new in Dell packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
Will MD1420 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. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.
