Dell PowerStore 1200T

The PowerStore 1200T is an all‑flash, all‑NVMe storage appliance in Dell’s PowerStore family, designed for unified block, file, and vVol workloads with intelligent automation and always‑on data reduction.

The 1200T is a refreshed “T‑model” introduced with PowerStoreOS 3.0, positioned above the smallest 500 platform and targeted at midrange enterprise environments needing strong performance and scale without going to the largest 9200T.

Standard PowerStore T and X appliances use a 2U base enclosure with dual active‑active nodes and 25 x 2.5‑inch NVMe drive slots in the front.

PowerStore uses dual‑ported NVMe SSDs and can also use NVMe storage class memory (SCM) drives; specific configurations vary by model and generati

Depending on the model, a PowerStore appliance can scale up to around 93–97 drives including expansion enclosures, with exact limits defined per model in the spec sheet.

PowerStore T models are deployed as traditional SAN/NAS appliances, while PowerStore X models include an embedded VMware ESXi hypervisor, allowing applications to run directly on the array.

PowerStore is commonly used for virtualized infrastructure (VMware), databases, file services, and mixed workloads that benefit from low‑latency all‑flash performance and unified block/file capabilities.
