Silver 2.5 inch SAS hard drive with mounting tray

DELL

DELL AL13SEB900 900GB 2.5" SAS 10000RPM internal hard drive

SKU CH-HHCP-GATM3 MPN AL13SEB900

A 2.5-inch enterprise SAS hard drive delivering 900 GB at 10,000 RPM for high-throughput server workloads

  • 900 GB capacity stores large enterprise datasets
  • 10 000 RPM rotation delivers fast sequential throughput
  • SAS 6 Gbps interface supports dual-port reliability
  • 5-inch form factor fits dense server bays
  • Includes tray for quick hot-swap installation

Capacity and interface

This is a 900 GB enterprise-class hard drive with a 2.5 inch form factor and a SAS 6 Gbps interface. It spins at 10 000 RPM and ships with a mounting tray included. The unit is supplied new in retail or OEM packaging.

Suitable workloads and limits

The drive suits servers and storage arrays that need high IOPS from a small-form-factor SAS disk. It is not for systems that only provide SATA backplanes or controllers without SAS support. Buyers who need larger capacities or solid-state latency should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The SAS 6 Gbps interface is the single specification that determines compatibility. Your backplane or RAID controller must support SAS at this speed for the drive to function.

Highlights

  • 900 GB capacity stores large enterprise datasets
  • 10 000 RPM rotation delivers fast sequential throughput
  • SAS 6 Gbps interface supports dual-port reliability
  • 5-inch form factor fits dense server bays
  • Includes tray for quick hot-swap installation

Questions about this item

At what rotation speed does the 10000RPM spindle hit its sustained-throughput ceiling?

The spindle runs at 10000RPM, so sequential throughput tops out at the mechanical limit of that rotation speed.

How much heat and noise does the 2.5" 10000RPM SAS drive produce during all-day operation?

A 2.5" 10000RPM SAS drive generates noticeable heat and audible seek noise under continuous load; plan for active airflow in the bay.

Which SAS controller or backplane must I already have to run this 6 Gbps SAS drive?

You need a SAS host bus adapter or RAID card with a 6 Gbps SAS port and a 2.5" drive bay that accepts the included tray.
