Dell 146GB 15K SAS drive with caddy
This new Dell SAVVIO 15K.2 drive provides 146GB of storage in a 2.5-inch form factor. It spins at 15000 RPM and uses a SAS 2.0 interface for 6 Gbps transfers. A 16MB buffer supports the high rotational speed. The included R Series caddy allows installation in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays.
Suits admins replacing a failed SAS drive
Buyers needing larger capacity or a different physical size should look elsewhere. The 15000 RPM mechanism prioritises access speed over storage density. Laptop users should verify their system accepts a SAS interface and the specific caddy dimensions before purchasing.
SAS 6 Gbps interface and 15000 RPM speed
The drive connects via a serial attached SCSI 2.0 interface rated at 6 Gbps. This specification determines compatibility with the server backplane and controller. The 15000 RPM rotational speed defines the drive's performance profile for transaction-heavy workloads. Match both values to your system requirements.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 146 GB 15000 RPM SAS drive or a larger capacity model?
The 146 GB 15000 RPM SAS drive delivers the highest rotational speed in this form factor, which is optimal for transaction-heavy workloads on Dell PowerEdge servers.
What does the 15000 RPM rating mean for real-world server performance?
At 15000 RPM the drive provides low latency and high IOPS, so database indexes and log files respond quickly under heavy concurrent access.
How does the SAS 6 Gb/s interface limit transfer speed in practice?
The SAS 2.0 interface caps sustained throughput at 6 Gb/s, so the drive will not exceed that ceiling even if the controller supports faster signalling.
