Hello, at first i would like to say that "Powervault" is some kind of category and contains from Tape, Storage Expansion and SAN Storage a lot of different solutions. Speaking of disk and when having no more free disk slots within your PowerEdge R730 i see 2 choices 1. A JBOD like MD14x0 together with a H830 RAID Card (comes with external Ports). 2. A SAN like ME4012/24 together with a 12G Dual Port SAS HBA(no raid, just internal Ports and passtrough) It is the ME4 which do the RAID and all other magic If you use VMware vSphere take a look the HCL first what is supportet and what not. For sure ME4 is supportet. The MD1400+H830 we have for our Backup Servers which than have multiple MD1400 attached in a chain to a single Perc H830. Take a look to [URL] and click the "external" tab.
