You know that feeling when enterprise-class solutions are “in theory” flexible, but in practice they simply don’t fit your workloads? With Dell PowerStore T, you don’t have to bend anything to make it work. It’s a serious all-flash platform with an NVMe architecture and support for block and file scale, which you tailor to your needs-from power supplies, through networking modules, all the way to specific PCIe 4.0 SSD drives.

Dell PowerStore T - an NVMe array configurator that truly simplifies storage design

Dell PowerStore T isn’t just another “boxed” storage solution you have to adapt yourself-here it’s the other way around. You can start with models like PowerStore 500T, 1200T, 3200T, 5200T, or 9200T, and the server configurator will immediately show you differences in price, expansion options, and upgrade paths.

You have full control over:

• the number and type of networking modules (e.g., 4x10/25GbE SFP28 iSCSI, Base-T, or FC SFP28)
• redundant power supplies
• SSD drives NVMe PCIe 4.0 (from 1.92TB to 15.36TB)
• SAS 12Gb/s protocol support as a hybrid option

This is one of the few configurators that truly reflects hardware differences and lets you match them directly in the interface-without digging through PDFs. Everything runs fast and gives you a concrete quote in PLN-no waiting for a sales rep’s pricing.

Configure Dell PowerStore T for specific workloads - from virtualization to mission-critical databases

Not every infrastructure needs an array “just in case.” If you care about aligning with your application profile, PowerStore T lets you choose everything with surgical precision. An example? Running a VDI environment? Pick 3.84TB or 7.68TB NVMe SSDs with high IOPS, pair them with an SFP28 interface, and you’re done.

On the other hand, for backup or archiving solutions, you can opt for SAS 12Gb/s drives, which still offer an excellent capacity-to-price ratio. In the configurator, you can also select:

• static rails or no rails
• a Dell EMC PowerStore 2U bezel
• SFP+ and SFP28 optical transceivers
• power cables and DAC cables
• drive carriers and blanks dedicated to specific models

No guesswork-if something can’t be combined, the configurator will prevent it. Everything works exactly as it should in an enterprise configuration.

Dell PowerStore T in practice - choose the platform, drives, and networking without guessing

The PowerStore T platform is built for years-not for a single project. That’s why the configurator lets you select not only the core components, but also plan for future expansion. Want to prepare for additional data pools right away? Add 6, 8, or 10 NVMe SSDs-the configurator will remind you they must be the same type, otherwise the pool won’t be created.

Networking? You don’t need to memorize which transceivers match which module-you get everything in a single view:

• SFP+ 10Gb/s, 16Gb/s
• SFP28 25GbE
• reach: 100m or 300m
• full compatibility with LC-LC connectors

Dell PowerStore T configurator - go from model selection to a production-ready array

Dell PowerStore T isn’t just an “array”-it’s a platform designed for intense, predictable data traffic. By choosing a specific model (e.g., a 9200T with two power supplies), you select drives, ports, carriers, and accessories in one intuitive configurator.

You don’t need external compatibility tables or hours with a calculator-everything is calculated immediately, including discounts and differences between SKUs. What’s more, you can also choose processors, RAM, network cards, or other components that will work with the array in your server room.

Know your environment? You’ll configure everything in 5 minutes. Don’t know it yet? The configurator will guide you step by step-and it won’t let you build something that won’t work.

FAQ

Does PowerStore T support only NVMe drives?

No. While PowerStore T is primarily an NVMe (PCIe 4.0) platform, you can also configure it with SAS 12Gb/s drives-ideal for hybrid backup and archiving environments.

How many SSDs do I need to add to create a data pool?

A minimum of 6 drives of the same type. The configurator won’t let you proceed if you add fewer or mix models. This guarantees consistency and array performance.

Can I add optical transceivers and cables directly in the configurator?

Yes-you can choose SFP+ and SFP28 transceivers, DAC cables, SAS cables, C13/C19 power cords, and many more. In the configurator, you can select exact lengths and verify compatibility.

How do PowerStore T models differ from each other?

The differences mainly concern scalability, the number of ports, and maximum capacity. The PowerStore 500T is the entry-level version, while the PowerStore 9200T offers maximum expansion capabilities and enterprise-class performance.

Is the configurator aligned with current stock availability?

Yes-all prices and options in the configurator are updated continuously and reflect real availability. If something can’t be added, it means it’s unavailable or incompatible.
