DELL 146GB 15K SAS 3G LFF internal hard drive 9Z2066-054

Dell 146GB 15K SAS 3Gb/s LFF Drive

This is a new 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 146GB capacity, 15000RPM rotational speed and a SAS 3Gb/s interface. It carries the Dell part number 9Z2066-054 and the manufacturer model ST3146855SS. The drive includes a 16MB buffer and is built for enterprise server environments.

Suits Dell PowerEdge servers listed

This drive fits the listed PowerEdge models such as the 1950, 2900, 2950, 2970, 6850, 6950, 840, 860, R200, R300, R900, R905, SC140, SC145, SC440, T100, T105 and T300. It is not for systems that require a 2.5-inch form factor or a different interface protocol. Buyers needing larger capacities or a different physical size should look at other parts.

The deciding specification is the SAS 3Gb/s

The drive connects through a SAS 3Gb/s port, so the host backplane or controller must support that exact link speed and connector type. If the system only accepts a newer or older SAS generation the drive will not be recognised. Verify the server documentation for SAS 3Gb/s support before purchase.
