146 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drive
This 146 GB Dell X162K spins at 15 000 RPM and connects through a SAS 2.0 interface running at 6 Gbps. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor and ships with an R-series caddy for hot-swap bays. The drive is new and intended for Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays. A 16 MB buffer handles burst traffic.
Suited for high-IO server workloads
The combination of 15 000 RPM spindle speed and 6 Gbps SAS suits transaction-heavy databases, mail stores and tier-one storage pools that demand low latency. Systems limited to slower interfaces or lacking hot-swap backplanes cannot use the drive as designed. Buyers needing more capacity per spindle or solid-state latency should consider other options.
SAS 2.0 6 Gbps interface decides fit
The single specification that determines compatibility is the SAS 2.0 interface operating at 6 Gbps. Your controller or backplane must support this exact protocol and speed; otherwise the drive will not negotiate a link. Verify the host adapter and cabling before purchase.

Questions about this item
Which lot size should I choose for my storage array?
The listing is a single lot of 10 drives, each 146 GB, so you receive ten 2.5-inch SAS units with trays in one purchase.
What does the 15000 RPM rating deliver in a server?
The 15000 RPM spindle gives very low latency and high IOPS for random workloads such as databases or virtualisation on Dell PowerEdge systems.
What does the SAS 2.0 6 Gb/s interface cap in practice?
The SAS 2.0 link tops out at 6 Gb/s, so sustained throughput cannot exceed that ceiling even on faster backplanes.
