DELL ST9146853SS 146GB 15000RPM 2.5" SAS 64MB internal hard drive with tray

Dell SAVVIO 15K.3 146GB SAS drive

This Dell SAVVIO 15K.3 ST9146853SS is a 146GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 15000RPM with a 64MB buffer. It uses a SAS 6Gb/s interface and ships new with an R Series tray for direct installation in compatible bays.

Suits servers needing 15K SAS spindles

The 15000RPM rotational speed and SAS interface target enterprise servers and storage arrays that require high IOPS from a 2.5-inch form factor. It is not for desktop PCs or laptops lacking a SAS controller, nor for users who need larger capacity than 146GB.

SAS 6Gb/s interface and 15000RPM speed

The single specification that decides fitment is the SAS 6Gb/s interface combined with 15000RPM spindle speed; the host system must provide a SAS backplane or controller that supports this signalling rate and the physical 2.5-inch bay with R Series tray mounting.
