DELL

DELL SAVVIO 15K.3 ST9146853SS 146GB 15000RPM 64MB 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-2Z0B-CKAHB

146GB 15,000RPM SAS hard drive with 64MB cache includes R Series caddy

  • 15,000 RPM for fast transaction processing
  • 64 MB cache accelerates random read/write
  • 6 Gb/s SAS interface supports high-throughput arrays
  • 5-inch form factor fits dense server bays
  • Includes R-Series caddy for tool-less installation

Enterprise 15K SAS drive

This 2.5-inch SAS hard drive spins at 15000RPM and delivers 146GB of capacity with a 64MB buffer. It ships new with an included R Series caddy for direct installation in compatible bays. The 6Gb/s SAS interface supports dual-port operation for server workloads.

Suits high-IOPS arrays; not for capacity tiers

Database servers and transaction-heavy applications benefit from the 15K spindle speed and low latency. Builders needing larger volumes or lower cost per gigabyte should consider higher-capacity alternatives. Systems without a SAS backplane or HBA cannot use this drive.

15000RPM spindle speed decides fit

The 15000RPM rotation rate is the single specification that determines whether this drive meets your performance target. It delivers the highest sustained throughput and lowest access time in the 2.5-inch SAS form factor. Verify your controller and backplane support 6Gb/s SAS before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the ST9146853SS is spinning at 15000RPM after installation?

Check the drive's reported rotational speed in your RAID controller BIOS or OS disk utility; it should show 15000RPM for the SAVVIO 15K.3.

Does the ST9146853SS shipment include the R Series caddy/tray or must I source it separately?

The drive ships with the R Series caddy/tray included, so no separate purchase is required for mounting.

Which capacity version of the SAVVIO 15K.3 should I choose for a 146GB SAS volume?

Select the ST9146853SS model, which provides exactly 146GB capacity over the SAS 6Gb/s interface.
