Dell Savvio 15K.2 Enterprise Drive

The Dell G108N is a 73 GB 15K SAS hard drive in a 2.5 inch form factor built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require high spindle speed and 512 native sector formatting. It suits administrators replacing failed drives in qualified Dell platforms or expanding existing SAS backplanes.

SAS 3 Gbps Interface Limit

The drive connects through a 3 Gbps SAS link which caps sustained throughput well below modern 6 Gbps or 12 Gbps backplanes and prevents the drive from saturating current controller bandwidth. Systems designed for faster SAS lanes will operate the device at this lower ceiling.

73 GB Capacity Constraint

Total usable space is 73 GB so the drive fits only workloads with small active datasets such as operating system boot volumes transaction logs or high IOPS caching tiers. Buyers who need more storage per spindle must select a higher capacity model.

Highlights

  • 73 GB capacity stores critical data
  • 15 K RPM spindle delivers fast access
  • SAS interface connects to enterprise controllers
  • 512 n sector format ensures compatibility
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense chassis

Questions about this item

Which capacity and spindle speed should I choose for a 2.5 inch SAS drive?

This drive is a single 73 GB model spinning at 15K rpm; no other capacities or speeds are offered for this part.

What does the 15K rpm rating mean for real-world access times?

The 15K rpm spindle reduces average rotational latency to about 2 ms, giving faster random read and write response than lower-speed drives.

What does the SAS 3 Gbps interface limit in practice?

The SAS 3 Gbps link sets the maximum bus transfer rate; actual sustained throughput will be lower and depends on the drive’s internal media speed.
