73 GB 15 000 RPM SAS hard drive

This new IBM HUS153073VLS300 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 73 GB capacity and a 15 000 RPM spindle speed. It connects via a 3 Gb/s SAS interface and includes an 8 MB buffer. The unit is designed for hot-plug installation in compatible drive bays.

Suits servers needing fast 3 Gb/s SAS storage

This drive fits systems that accept 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS drives running at 3 Gb/s. Buyers whose chassis or controller only support larger capacities or different physical formats should look at other options. The 73 GB capacity and 15 000 RPM speed target specific performance and space requirements.

3 Gb/s SAS interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 3 Gb/s SAS interface. The drive requires a backplane and controller that support this exact signalling rate and connector type. Verify that the host system provides a matching SAS port before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 8MB cache on the HUS153073VLS300 need any firmware updates or replacement over time?

The 8MB cache is built into the drive and does not require separate maintenance or replacement.

What limits the sustained transfer rate of this 15000RPM SAS drive?

The 3Gb/s SAS interface caps the maximum sustained throughput.

How much heat and noise does the 73GB 15000RPM drive produce when running continuously?

At 15000RPM the drive generates more heat and acoustic noise than slower drives; ensure adequate case airflow.
