Systems that require a different interface or a larger capacity will not be compatible with this specific part.

6Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

Questions about this item

Does the x162k need a 6Gb/s SAS backplane or controller to operate?

The drive uses a 6Gb/s SAS interface; it requires a compatible SAS controller or backplane that supports this speed.

Will the 15000 RPM x162k work in a Dell PowerEdge R610 with other SAS drives?

The x162k is listed as compatible with the R610 and uses the same 6Gb/s SAS interface as other drives qualified for that server.

How can I confirm the 146 GB x162k is recognised at full speed after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or OS utility to verify the drive negotiates a 6Gb/s SAS link and reports 146 GB capacity.
