14 disks on a SCSI bus is a bit of an overkill, depending on what SCSI BUS you have it will be overwhelmed or very overwhelmed by that many drives!<br />
<br />
i see the machine supports U320 SCSI ie max 320MB/s, that means that only about 5 drives will saturate the bus (at best)<br />
<br />
Is the SCSI card a RAID card or are you planning on using software RAID?

Would like to do the above and see two 'banks' of 14 drives, when/if I get that &nbsp;solved will go to learning how to configure raid arrays in at leaet one to them.<br />
New to all this but the powervaults while old to work in that I can see them in the system, but only one box connected at a time to single port SCSI &nbsp;card.

New to all this but the powervaults while old to work in that I can see them in the system, but only one box connected at a time to single port SCSI  card.

any help on setting up two Dell powervault  220s 14 bay storage units on one dual port SCSI card?

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Since 1984, Dell has been delivering technology to fit your life.
Dell is in Enterprise, Home Office and Consumer sectors of the market, supplying a broad range of customizable desktops, laptops, notebooks, servers, storage, and network devices.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
