ME412 is the Dell PowerVault ME412 expansion enclosure: a 2U chassis with 12 drive bays for 3.5-inch drives, connected over 12Gb SAS. Its 2.5-inch counterpart is the ME424 PowerVault expansion enclosure, a 24-bay 2U unit.
PowerVault ME412 and ME424 expansion enclosures can only be used with ME4012 or ME4024 base arrays.

For the 3.5-inch bays, ME4 Series drive options include 7.2K NL-SAS at 4TB, 8TB, 10TB, 12TB and 12TB SED. SSD, 15K, 10K and 7.2K drives can be mixed across ME4 arrays and expansion enclosures, including FIPS-certified self-encrypting drives.
