Questions about this item
Will the 15000RPM spindle motor or SAS interface require periodic servicing?
The drive is a sealed 3.5 inch SAS unit with no user-serviceable parts; if the motor or controller fails the whole drive is replaced.
What is the first limit reached during sustained transfers on the 3Gb/s SAS link?
The 3Gb/s SAS interface caps sustained throughput before the 15000RPM platters become the bottleneck.
How much heat and noise does the 15000RPM mechanism produce in all-day operation?
At 15000RPM the drive runs warmer and louder than slower SAS models; plan for active airflow in the 3.5 inch bay.
