73 GB SAS drive for Dell servers
This 73 GB internal hard drive uses a 3 Gb/s SAS interface and spins at 15000 rpm. It is built for Dell PowerEdge servers such as the 1900, 1950, 2900, 2950, 6900 and 6950 models. The 3.5-inch form factor fits standard drive bays in these systems. It is not suited for desktops or laptops that lack SAS controllers.
Sustained workloads on 15000 rpm SAS
The 15000 rpm spindle speed keeps throughput steady during continuous read and write cycles typical of database or transaction logs. A 3 Gb/s SAS link maintains consistent bandwidth without the variability seen on single-port consumer interfaces. The drive is designed for always-on operation in multi-drive arrays. It does not address workloads that demand larger capacities or solid-state latency.
3.5-inch SAS mounting for rack servers
The 3.5-inch width matches the hot-swap carriers used in Dell PowerEdge R410, R510, R610, R710, R810, R905 and R910 chassis. SAS connectors align with the backplane so drives can be swapped without cable routing. Compatibility also extends to PowerVault MD1000 and MD3000 series enclosures. Systems without 3.5-inch SAS backplanes cannot use this drive.

Questions about this item
How much heat and noise does the 15000 rpm spindle generate during continuous operation?
The 15000 rpm spindle runs at enterprise speed; expect higher heat and audible noise compared to slower drives, so ensure your server chassis provides adequate airflow.
What controller interface must my system provide for this 3Gb/s SAS drive?
It requires a 3Gb/s SAS backplane or HBA in a compatible Dell PowerEdge or PowerVault system.
Will this 3.5-inch SAS drive fit in my older PowerEdge 1950 or 2950 server?
Yes, the compatibility list includes PowerEdge 1900, 1950, 2900 and 2950 models among others.
