Capacity and interface

This is a 146GB 2.5" internal hard drive with a SAS 3Gb/s interface, spinning at 10000 RPM and equipped with 16MB cache. It fits Dell systems and other servers or workstations that accept 2.5" SAS drives.

Who it suits

It suits administrators replacing a failed drive in a SAS backplane or expanding an existing SAS array where 146GB capacity matches the RAID set. It is not for buyers who need larger capacities, lower noise profiles, or interfaces other than SAS 3Gb/s.

Deciding specification

The SAS 3Gb/s interface is the single specification that determines compatibility; the drive will only function in controllers and backplanes that support this SAS signalling rate.

Questions about this item

What host interface does the 341-8715 require to function?

This 146GB drive requires a SAS 3Gb/s host controller or RAID card to operate.

Will the 10000 RPM SAS drive work in an enclosure that also holds slower SAS or SCSI disks?

Yes, the drive will negotiate the SAS 3Gb/s link speed independently, so it can share a backplane or chain with older SAS or SCSI devices.

How can I verify the 341-8715 is running at its rated 10000 RPM after installation?

Check the drive’s reported rotational speed and SAS link rate in your RAID BIOS, OS disk utility, or SMART data to confirm 10000 RPM and 3Gb/s operation.
