36.40 GB 2.5" SAS Drive

This 2.5-inch internal hard drive offers 36.40 GB of capacity and spins at 10000 RPM. It connects via a SAS 3Gb/s interface. The drive is built for enterprise-class laptops and high-density server environments where small form factor storage is required.

Enterprise-class 10000 RPM design

The 10000 RPM spindle speed delivers higher throughput than standard laptop drives. Its 2.5-inch form factor allows dense packing in blade servers and storage arrays. This design helps optimise rack space and can reduce overall data centre footprint.

Verify SAS controller and bay fit

Confirm your laptop or server has a SAS controller that supports 3Gb/s speeds. Ensure the 2.5-inch drive bay accepts enterprise-class drives of this thickness. Check that your system BIOS or RAID controller recognises SAS devices before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the 10000 RPM spindle motor or SAS 3Gb/s interface need replacement first?

The spindle motor bearings typically wear out before the SAS 3Gb/s interface electronics fail.

Does the 10000 RPM speed or the SAS 3Gb/s bandwidth limit sustained throughput first?

The SAS 3Gb/s link caps maximum sustained transfer well below what the 10000 RPM platters can deliver.

How much heat does the 10000 RPM 2.5" drive produce when running all day?

A 10000 RPM 2.5" enterprise drive generates noticeable heat and requires adequate airflow in the chassis.
