Product overview
Part number ME5024 identifies this Dell PowerVault 24-Bay 2.5in SAS storage array. 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.
Quotes are itemised down to the accessories, so nothing that is needed to make the part work is left off and discovered later.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
ME5024 is what is quoted and ME5024 is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Volume pricing
The listed price is per unit; tiered pricing applies at quantity and purchase orders are accepted.
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 ME5024 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
Will ME5024 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.
