  • 146 GB capacity stores critical server data
  • 15 000 RPM spindle accelerates transaction workloads
  • 6 Gb/s SAS interface connects to enterprise controllers
  • 16 MB cache buffers burst I/O requests
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense drive bays

Enterprise 15K RPM SAS drive

The Dell MBE2147RC is a new 146GB enterprise hard drive spinning at 15000RPM with a 6Gb/s SAS interface and 16MB cache. It ships with the R Series tray installed for direct mounting in compatible Dell servers. The 2.5-inch form factor suits dense storage arrays. Condition is new with a 90-day warranty.

For high-IOPS server workloads

This drive suits administrators who need low-latency random access for databases or transactional workloads on SAS backplanes. Buyers who need larger capacity per spindle should consider other models. Systems without a SAS controller or backplane cannot use this drive. The 15K speed targets performance over bulk storage.

15000RPM rotational speed

The 15000RPM spindle speed is the specification that determines whether this drive meets the required IOPS and latency profile. It delivers higher random performance than slower enterprise drives but consumes more power and generates more heat. Verify that the chassis cooling and power budget support 15K operation before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 15K RPM spindle produce during continuous operation?

The 15,000 RPM motor generates more heat and acoustic output than slower drives; adequate chassis airflow is required to keep temperatures in check.

Which host interface and caddy does my server need to accept this drive?

A 6 Gb/s SAS backplane and a Dell R-series 2.5-inch drive tray are required; the tray is included with the drive.

Will the 6 Gb/s SAS link negotiate down to work with my older 3 Gb/s controller?

Yes, the SAS interface is backward compatible and will operate at 3 Gb/s when connected to a legacy controller.
