DELL ST9146803SS 146GB 10000RPM 6Gbps 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-CCN2-9XSHD

A 2.5‑inch SAS enterprise drive with 146 GB capacity, 10 000 RPM speed and 16 MB cache for fast server storage

  • 146 GB capacity supports OS and application storage
  • 10,000 RPM rotational speed accelerates read and write operations
  • 16 MB cache doubles typical buffer for faster frequent data access
  • 6 Gbps SAS interface enables high-throughput data transfer
  • 5-inch form factor increases density versus 3.5-inch drives

Dell SAVVIO 10K.3 SAS drive

The Dell ST9146803SS is a 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive built for servers and high-performance workstations. It delivers 146GB of capacity on a 6Gbps SAS interface with a 10000RPM spindle speed. The 16MB cache helps accelerate frequent read operations. This new bare drive suits IT professionals who need reliable, fast storage in a compact form factor.

Upgrade from 3.5-inch 10K drives

This drive replaces standard 3.5-inch 10000RPM SAS units while cutting physical footprint by 70 percent. The jump is worth it when rack density or enclosure bay count is the limiting factor. It keeps the same rotational speed and SAS 2.0 protocol, so existing controllers and backplanes require no change. Buyers who need larger single-drive capacities will not find them here.

Capacity and headroom at 146GB

The 146GB volume handles operating systems, hypervisors, and transaction logs comfortably. It runs out quickly with media libraries, large databases, or backup targets that exceed a few hundred gigabytes. The 16MB buffer smooths burst workloads, but sustained heavy writes will saturate the mechanical limits. Arrays of these drives scale capacity linearly within the same 2.5-inch bays.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SAS drive fit my 3.5" bay?

The drive uses the 2.5 inch form factor. You will need a 2.5 to 3.5 inch adapter bracket to mount it in a standard 3.5 inch bay.

How do I connect the SAS 6Gb/s interface, and what step is often missed?

Attach a SAS data cable to the drive's SAS 2.0 port and a compatible SAS controller or HBA. Many users forget to enable the controller BIOS so the drive appears at boot.

When should I plan to replace the 10000RPM enterprise drive?

Enterprise drives at 10000 RPM are rated for continuous operation. Monitor SMART reallocated sector counts; replace the drive once reallocated sectors begin to climb steadily.
