Dell 146 GB 15K SAS Hard Drive

This new Dell 146 GB 3.5 inch internal hard drive spins at 15000 RPM and connects through a SAS 3 Gb/s interface. It is built for servers and workstations that need low-latency access to small data sets. The 16 MB buffer helps smooth burst workloads.

Suits legacy SAS bays needing 15K speed

It fits 3.5 inch LFF bays in Dell systems and other platforms that accept SAS 3 Gb/s drives. Buyers who need more capacity or a faster 6 Gb/s link should look elsewhere. The 15K spindle targets transaction-heavy workloads rather than bulk storage.

15000 RPM spindle speed

The 15000 RPM rotational speed is the key specification that determines whether this drive meets the performance profile of the target application. It delivers the high IOPS required for database logs, email queues and similar latency-sensitive tasks.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5" SAS drive and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a 3.5-inch bay, attach the SAS data and power cables, then configure the drive in the RAID controller BIOS before the OS sees it.

What maintenance or replacement will the MBA3147RC need later?

The 15000RPM mechanical drive has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the entire unit when SMART errors appear or capacity is exceeded.

What limit appears first under sustained write loads on the 146GB SAS 3Gb/s drive?

The 3Gb/s SAS interface caps sustained throughput, so the bus saturates before the 16MB cache or 15000RPM platters reach their own limits.
