24-bay storage enclosure for dense capacity

The Dell PowerEdge 3800I is a 2.5-inch barebone server chassis with 24 drive bays in a dual-controller layout. It arrives without drives so you can populate it with the exact mix of SSDs or HDDs your workload requires. The 600W dual power supply provides redundancy for continuous operation. This platform suits teams that need cost-effective, high-density block storage expansion.

Verify rack space and controller compatibility

Confirm that your rack can accommodate the chassis depth and that you have the necessary cabling for the dual-controller architecture. The unit ships with no pre-installed disks, so source 2.5-inch drives that match your performance and capacity targets. Ensure your host servers or storage software can address both controllers for full failover benefit. Power distribution must support two independent 600W feeds.

Redundant power and tool-less drive access

The 600W dual power supply means a single module failure will not interrupt service, reducing unplanned downtime. Drive bays are designed for front-access hot-swap, letting you replace or add disks without shutting down the enclosure. Dual controllers eliminate a single point of failure in the data path, a practical advantage for environments that cannot tolerate storage outages.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell 3800I barebone include any drives or do I need to buy 2.5-inch drives separately?

The enclosure ships with no pre-installed hard drives; you must supply up to 24 x 2.5-inch drives yourself.

The product lists both 3800I and 3820I model numbers — which one should I select?

Both numbers refer to the same 24-bay dual-controller enclosure; order under the 3800I MPN used on this listing.

How does the 600W dual power supply protect my data once the server is running?

Two 600W units share the load so if one fails the other keeps all 24 drive bays and both controllers online without interruption.
