Silver 3.5 inch SAS hard drive with Dell label

DELL

DELL GY581 73 GB SAS 15000 RPM 3.5 inch internal hard drive

SKU CH-QDX7-D3657

A 73 GB SAS drive spinning at 15000 RPM in a 3.5 inch internal form factor

  • 73 GB capacity stores critical enterprise data
  • 15000 RPM spindle speed accelerates transaction-heavy workloads
  • SAS interface connects directly to compatible RAID controllers
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard server drive bays
  • New condition delivers factory-fresh reliability for production arrays

GY581 73 GB 15000 RPM SAS Drive

This new 3.5 inch internal hard drive uses a Serial Attached SCSI interface and spins at 15000 RPM for fast transactional performance. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that demand high spindle speed and SAS connectivity. The 73 GB capacity suits applications where low latency matters more than raw volume.

Suited for SAS hosts needing 15K spindles

System builders populating 3.5 inch bays in compatible SAS backplanes will find the interface and spindle speed match their requirements. Workstations or desktops lacking a SAS controller cannot use this drive. Buyers needing larger capacities for bulk data should look at other product lines.

15000 RPM spindle speed decides fit

The 15000 RPM rotation rate delivers the low access times required by high‑IOPS workloads such as databases and email servers. If the target system prioritises capacity per drive over random‑access speed, this spindle speed makes the GY581 the wrong choice.

Questions about this item

How do I install the GY581 73 GB SAS drive in a 3.5-inch bay, and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a standard 3.5-inch bay using four screws, connect the SAS data and power cables, then ensure the controller BIOS or RAID utility detects the 15000 RPM spindle before formatting.

What maintenance or replacement will the GY581 73 GB SAS drive need later?

Plan to replace the drive once its 15000 RPM motor shows increased seek errors or SMART reallocated-sector counts rise, as mechanical wear is the primary failure mode.

What limit appears first on the GY581 73 GB SAS drive under sustained use?

The 15000 RPM spindle generates the most heat, so thermal throttling or controller-imposed write pauses typically occur before the SAS interface saturates.
