DELL MBE2073RC 73GB 15K RPM 6Gbps 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-F7M1-75ZCT

A 73 GB, 15 000 RPM SAS drive with a 16 MB cache for high-speed enterprise storage

  • 15,000 RPM spindle accelerates transaction-heavy workloads
  • 6 Gb/s SAS interface sustains high-throughput data streams
  • 16 MB cache buffers burst I/O for consistent response
  • 5-inch form factor fits dense server chassis
  • 73 GB capacity stores critical operating-system and log data

Dell 73 GB 15K SAS drive

This Dell 73 GB 15000 RPM SAS drive fits 2.5 inch bays and connects at 6 Gb/s through a 16 MB cache. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that demand high spindle speed in a small form factor. The new condition means the unit has not been previously deployed.

Suits transactional workloads needing low latency

Database logs, email queues and virtual-machine paging benefit from the 15K RPM rotational speed and SAS interface. Environments that require larger capacities or solid-state endurance should evaluate other drive classes.

73 GB capacity decides fit

The 73 GB usable space determines whether the drive can hold the target dataset or journal volume. If the application needs more room, this model will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5" SAS drive fit my server's 2.5-inch bay?

Yes, the drive uses the standard 2.5-inch form factor and connects via a SAS 6Gb/s interface, matching common enterprise hot-swap trays.

What is the correct way to seat this drive in a hot-swap tray?

Align the SAS connector with the backplane and press firmly until the latch clicks; the step often missed is not engaging the tray latch fully.

How long can I expect the 15000RPM mechanism to last before replacement?

Enterprise 15K drives are rated for continuous operation; plan replacement after five years or when SMART reallocated-sector counts begin to rise.
