Capacity and interface

The Dell K532N is a 146GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It spins at 15000 RPM and includes a 16MB cache. A hot-swap tray is supplied and the drive is designed for server environments.

Suited for Dell PowerEdge servers

This drive fits Dell PowerEdge 1900, 2950, 2970, 6850, M600, M605, R805, R905, M805, R900 and M600 models. Buyers needing larger capacities or a different physical interface should consider other options. The 15000 RPM spindle speed targets high-transaction workloads.

SAS 6Gb/s interface requirement

The drive communicates over Serial Attached SCSI at 6Gb/s. A compatible SAS controller or backplane is required for operation. Verify that the target system supports this interface standard before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 15000 RPM spindle and 16MB cache need periodic maintenance or replacement?

The drive has no user-serviceable parts; the spindle and cache are sealed inside the enclosure and are not designed for separate replacement.

What limit appears first when the SAS 6Gb/s interface runs sustained workloads on a Dell PowerEdge 1900 or 2950?

The 15000 RPM mechanical spindle sets the sustained throughput ceiling before the 6Gb/s SAS link saturates.

How much heat and noise does the 15000 RPM 2.5" mechanism produce during all-day operation in a server chassis?

The high-speed spindle generates noticeable heat and audible seek noise; adequate chassis airflow is required for continuous duty.
