146 GB SAS drive for ProLiant servers

This 146 GB hard drive uses a 3Gb/s SAS interface and spins at 15000 rpm. It is built as an HP Qualified Option for the ProLiant DL380 G6 server. The 3.5 inch form factor fits standard internal drive bays in compatible systems.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The 15000 rpm spindle speed typically produces more heat and audible noise than slower drives. Power draw will reflect the high rotational speed during continuous operation. No wireless LAN components are present, so no additional RF emissions occur.

Build quality and connector implications

The drive carries RoHS certification and is marked environmentally friendly. A SAS connector provides dual-port capability for path redundancy in supported arrays. Internal mounting secures the unit inside the server chassis for reliable daily operation.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 3.5" SAS drive into an HP ProLiant DL380 G6 server and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into an empty 3.5" bay until the carrier locks, then connect the SAS data and power cables to the backplane; the step often missed is confirming the drive appears in the Smart Array controller BIOS before booting the OS.

What maintenance or replacement will this 146 GB 15000 rpm SAS drive need later?

Mechanical drives of this type eventually wear; plan to replace the unit when SMART reallocated-sector counts rise or after the rated five-year service life, whichever comes first.

What limit shows up first on this 3Gb/s SAS drive during sustained write workloads?

The 3Gb/s SAS interface saturates before the 15000 rpm platters can deliver higher sequential throughput, making the link the first bottleneck.
