I'm about to purchase a MD1200 and throw some 6TB Seagate SATA drives in it. Is there any reason this won't work? H800's will be (split) plumbed into this array.
With the MD series of units you have to use Dell certified drives with Dell P/N on them in order to get the drives seen by the MD. Now checking the support matrix for the MD1200 the largest drive that can be used is a 2TB 7.2k drive. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powervault/powervault-md1200_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf I also checked the Dell website & the largest drive that can be purchased is a 4TB 7.2k drive. With that being said you will not be able to use a 6TB drive in the MD1200.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
