Dell XX518 146 GB SAS drive

The Dell XX518 is a 146 GB internal hard drive with a 3.5 inch form factor. It spins at 15000 RPM and uses a SAS interface rated at 3 Gbps. A 16 MB buffer helps accelerate data access. The unit is supplied as a bare drive only.

Suits servers needing fast SAS storage

This drive fits systems that require a 3.5 inch SAS connection and high rotational speed for transaction-heavy workloads. Buyers who need more capacity or a different interface should look elsewhere. The bare-drive package omits brackets, cables or mounting hardware. It is not intended for laptops or external enclosures.

15000 RPM spindle speed decides fit

The 15000 RPM spindle speed is the single specification that determines whether this drive meets your performance target. It delivers the low latency needed for demanding server applications. Verify that your controller and backplane support 3.5 inch SAS drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the XX518 ship with cables, brackets or screws, or is it a bare drive only?

The XX518 is supplied as a bare drive only, so you will need to provide your own SAS data cable, power cable and any mounting hardware required by your chassis.

The listing shows a single 146 GB capacity — are there other capacities or versions of this model to choose from?

This specific XX518 part number is offered only in the 146 GB capacity with a 15000 RPM spindle and 16 MB cache; other capacities would carry different part numbers.

In a real system, what does the 3 Gb/s SAS interface actually deliver for sustained throughput?

The 3 Gb/s SAS link sets a theoretical ceiling of 3 Gb/s, but real-world sustained transfer will be limited by the 15000 RPM mechanical speed and the 16 MB buffer, typically well below the interface maximum.
