Dell HDD in the UAE — 10K SAS SFF and NL-SAS LFF for Dubai and Abu Dhabi Data Centres
Equinix DX1 and DX2 in Dubai — carrier-neutral and cable-landing — host a dense Dell EMC Unity and PowerVault footprint across finance, media and government tenants. Moro Hub’s 100MW+ solar campus runs both hyperscale all-flash and traditional Unity-xT-plus-15-disk-DAE storage for cost-tiered workloads. Emirates Airlines and Etihad MRO operations depend on documented spare parts with factory traceability, which is where refurb HDDs fall down for most suppliers — but rise up when the paper trail is clean. We keep roughly 5,623 Dell HDD SKUs on shelves in Cairo and ship into DXB in one business day via Aramex mailbox .

The 12Gb SAS Queue-Depth Story on Unity Xt 15-Disk DAE
Unity Xt 15-disk DAEs ship at 12Gb SAS end-to-end. Populating them with 6Gb SAS drives (which some refurb stock still carries for older Unity VNXe platforms) technically works — the expander negotiates down — but the array flags a performance warning on the controller and audit logs. We ship exclusively 12Gb SAS for Unity Xt DAE replenishment and keep 6Gb SAS separate, clearly tagged for legacy Unity/VNXe targets.
UAE Duty and VAT Position
HS 8471.70, Mirsal 2 clearance, 5% GCC CET on non-GCC origin (JAFZA bonded routing available), 5% FTA VAT on CIF. No TDRA involvement. Our Cairo origin + Egyptian Chamber COO qualifies for reduced rates under the Egypt-UAE trade framework where the specific tariff line is covered.
Shipping Path Detail
CAI → DXB direct daily flights, ~3 hours wheels-up to wheels-down. Aramex Premium door-to-door 24-30 hours to Dubai metro, 24-36 hours to Abu Dhabi. For ongoing tenant contracts inside Khazna/Moro Hub we maintain a forward-stock position in the Jebel Ali bonded zone for sub-4-hour tenant delivery.
Emirates and Etihad Engineering Traceability
Airline engineering IT cannot accept drives without a Dell PN, factory date code and chain-of-custody document. Every drive we ship is tagged with the original Dell PN, serial, and the ICD ERPNext inbound reference. One audit-friendly package, one warranty terminus, one accountable supplier.
