Product overview
This is the Dell PowerVault 24-Bay 2.5in SAS expansion Enclosure, order code ME424. An expansion shelf has to be supported by the head unit's firmware, not merely cabled to it. This chassis takes 24 drives. Tell us the controller and we will confirm the shelf is on its supported list.
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 ME424 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.
Carriers counted with the drives
Enclosure, carriers and disks are quoted as one line so the shelf can actually be populated on arrival.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is ME424 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 ME424 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. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.
