  • 15,000 RPM spindle delivers fast transactional throughput
  • 73 GB capacity fits legacy server arrays
  • 3 Gb/s SAS interface connects to existing controllers
  • 16 MB cache buffers burst I/O workloads
  • New condition ensures full manufacturer specification

Product identity

This is a Dell MAX3073RC 73GB 15000RPM 3.5" SAS internal hard drive with a 16MB buffer. It is a new enterprise-class drive built for servers and storage arrays that require high spindle speed and a 3Gb/s SAS interface.

Suitability

It suits administrators replacing a failed drive in a legacy SAS backplane or populating a 3Gb/s enclosure where 15K RPM performance is specified. It will not serve buyers who need larger capacities or faster SAS signalling rates.

Deciding specification

The 3Gb/s SAS interface is the single specification that decides fitment; the drive will only operate at its rated speed on a controller or backplane that supports 3Gb/s SAS signalling.

Highlights

  • 15,000 RPM spindle delivers fast transactional throughput
  • 73 GB capacity fits legacy server arrays
  • 3 Gb/s SAS interface connects to existing controllers
  • 16 MB cache buffers burst I/O workloads
  • New condition ensures full manufacturer specification

Questions about this item

How does the 15000RPM spindle speed affect sustained throughput?

The 15000RPM rotation keeps seek times low so sequential read and write streams stay steady during long workloads.

What noise and heat should I expect from a 15K SAS drive running continuously?

A 15000RPM SAS drive produces noticeable whine and runs warmer than slower disks; plan for active airflow in the chassis.

Which controller or backplane do I need to connect this 3.5" SAS 3Gb/s drive?

You need a SAS HBA, RAID card or server backplane with a 3Gb/s SAS port and a standard 3.5" drive bay.
