Anyone have experience with Dell PowerStore?

I won a Dell PowerStore on eBay. Not sure what the model is since I did not receive it yet, but I think it's a T series.

It did not come with any power supplies, but it looks to have both controllers with 2x 100GbE ports each.

I'd like to know what PSU's I need and anything else I'd need to get it up and running. I believe these are NVMe only and I'm having a hard time finding compatible used drives.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I'd like to know also. I have acquired a 500T with no drives. Not sure how licensing works on these PowerStores.

Did yours at least come with power supplies? Did you manage to get it powered on at all?

Yes, mine came with PSUs. I'm away from home but before I left it powered on and was able to get into the webgui.

Nice well that's a start! Can you send me the PSU models when you have a chance? I'm not sure if mine is a 500T or not but I have nothing to go on right now.

Once you got in the web ui was it licensed or could you actually do anything? I also found a password reset procedure here if you need that.

So I received the unit today and it turns out that it's only an expansion enclosure, not the actual head unit. Weird because the luggage tag in the front shows the model as a 9200T, but the rear tag is ENS. Wonder what happened to the 9200T head unit that was associated with it.
