Dell 146GB 15K SAS Hard Drive

This new Dell internal hard drive delivers 146GB of storage in a 2.5-inch form factor. It spins at 15000RPM and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The unit includes a 16MB buffer and is built to original Dell specifications.

Suited for enterprise servers needing fast SAS

This drive fits systems that accept 2.5-inch SAS drives and can utilise the 6Gb/s link speed. It is not for buyers who require larger capacities or solid-state performance. Builders without a SAS backplane or controller should look elsewhere.

15000RPM rotational speed

The 15000RPM spindle speed is the key specification that determines whether this drive meets your latency and throughput requirements. Verify that your chassis and controller support this speed class before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SAS 6Gb/s interface work with my existing SAS 3Gb/s backplane?

Yes, the SAS 6Gb/s interface is backward compatible with 3Gb/s controllers and backplanes, though the drive will operate at the slower 3Gb/s link speed.

How can I verify the 15000RPM drive is running correctly after installation?

Check the system BIOS or RAID controller utility to confirm the drive is detected at 6Gb/s link speed, then run the manufacturer's diagnostic tool to verify the 15000RPM spindle speed and 16MB cache.

Does the ST9146852SS come with a mounting bracket or caddy for a 2.5" bay?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" SFF mechanism without a caddy; a Dell-compatible 2.5" drive tray or bracket must be purchased separately for installation.
