Enterprise storage drive

The Maxtor Atlas 15K II SAS 8K147S0 is a 147GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for servers and workstations that demand 15000 RPM performance. Its Serial Attached SCSI interface and 16MB cache serve databases and transaction-heavy workloads where low latency matters.

SAS integration requirements

The drive connects via a SAS controller or backplane and fits standard 3.5-inch drive bays. Dual-port accessibility enables multipath I/O for redundancy while the bare-drive packaging assumes mounting hardware and cables are sourced separately.

Thermal and acoustic profile

Spindle speed of 15000 RPM produces measurable heat and audible seek noise typical of enterprise-class drives; active airflow across the chassis is expected. Average seek time of 3.4ms and average latency of 2ms reflect consistent throughput under 24 x 7 operation.

Questions about this item

How does the 15000 RPM spindle speed affect sustained throughput limits?

The 15000 RPM rotation and 3.4 ms average seek time keep mechanical latency low so the drive sustains high IOPS under continuous load.

What heat or noise should I expect when this drive runs 24 x 7?

Designed for 24 x 7 operation with a 1.400000 hour MTTF rating, the 3.5" SAS drive meets enterprise thermal and acoustic targets for always-on arrays.

Which controller or backplane do I need to connect this SAS drive?

A Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host bus adapter or dual-port backplane is required; the drive uses the SAS interface and dual-port accessibility for redundancy.
