  • 15000 RPM speed accelerates data access for demanding workloads
  • 6 Gb/s SAS interface delivers high-throughput connectivity to servers

146 GB 15 000 RPM SAS Drive

This new Dell SAVVIO 15K.3 internal hard drive delivers 146 GB of storage on a 2.5" SAS 6 Gb/s interface. It spins at 15 000 RPM and includes a 64 MB buffer for rapid data access. The bare drive is designed for direct installation into compatible drive bays.

Suits High-Speed SAS Arrays

The drive suits administrators who need low-latency, high-IOPS storage for transaction-heavy workloads on SAS controllers. Buyers who require larger capacities, lower spindle speeds, or a different physical form factor should consider alternative drives. The SAS interface dictates the host connection requirement.

15 000 RPM Spindle Speed

The 15 000 RPM rotational speed is the primary specification that determines whether this drive meets the performance profile of the target application. This speed enables the low access times needed for demanding enterprise tasks. Compatibility with the SAS 6 Gb/s host bus adapter remains the other essential check.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 15000RPM SAS drive produce during continuous operation?

The 15000RPM spindle and 2.5-inch SAS 6Gb/s interface generate more heat and acoustic output than slower drives; ensure the chassis provides adequate airflow for the 1.0-pound unit.

What controller or backplane is needed to run this 6Gb/s SAS drive?

A SAS 6Gb/s host bus adapter or a compatible RAID controller with a 2.5-inch SAS connector is required; the drive will not function on interfaces other than SAS.

Will the ST9146853SS work in a server that currently uses 3.5-inch 15K SAS drives?

The 2.5-inch form factor needs a 2.5-inch bay or adapter; the SAS 6Gb/s protocol matches existing 6Gb/s backplanes, so data transfers work once the drive is physically mounted.
