DELL 146 GB 2.5" 10000 RPM SAS laptop hard drive

Dell 146 GB SAS Hard Drive

This 2.5-inch internal drive delivers 146 GB of storage over a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. It spins at 10000 RPM and includes a 16 MB cache. The unit is listed as new and was first listed by the manufacturer in 2018. It is designed for laptop or server bays that accept a 2.5-inch SAS form factor.

Suited for server upgrades or replacements

This drive suits administrators who need a 146 GB, 10000 RPM SAS drive for compatible server or storage arrays. It is not for buyers whose systems only support other drive interfaces or larger capacity requirements. It is also not for users who need a consumer laptop drive with a different physical or electrical connector. The 16 MB cache and spindle speed target enterprise workloads rather than general-purpose use.

10000 RPM spindle speed

The 10000 RPM rotation rate is the single specification that determines whether this drive meets the performance profile of the target array. It defines the sustained throughput and latency characteristics expected in a 146 GB SAS enterprise drive. Verify that the host controller and backplane support this speed and the 2.5-inch form factor before purchase.
