Dell NP659 146 GB 10000 RPM SAS Drive
The Dell NP659 is a 146 GB 2.5 inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 16 MB cache. It uses a 3Gb/s SAS interface and is supplied in new condition. The drive is built for Dell PowerEdge servers and the MD1120 storage array.
Suits Dell PowerEdge 1900 1950 2900 2950 6900 6950
This drive fits the listed Dell PowerEdge servers and the MD1120 storage array where a 3Gb/s SAS connection is required. It is not for laptops or desktops lacking a SAS controller or the correct drive bay. Buyers needing larger capacity or a different interface should look elsewhere.
Deciding spec: 3Gb/s SAS interface
The single specification that decides fitment is the 3Gb/s SAS interface. The host system must provide a compatible SAS backplane or controller operating at this speed. Without that exact interface the drive cannot communicate with the server.

Questions about this item
Does the 2.5" SAS drive fit the Dell PowerEdge MD1120 storage array?
Yes, the NP659 is listed as compatible with the Dell PowerEdge MD1120 Storage Arrays and the PowerEdge 1900, 1950, 2900, 2950, 6900 and 6950 servers.
How do I install the NP659 in a compatible PowerEdge server?
Slide the 2.5" drive into the server hot-swap bay until the SAS connector seats firmly; the step often missed is not pushing far enough to engage the latch.
When should I plan to replace the 10000 RPM SAS drive?
Replace the NP659 if SMART data shows reallocated sectors, if the 16 MB cache cannot mask latency spikes, or after the rated service life for a 10000 RPM enterprise drive.
