- 80-pin hot-swap connector allows drive changes without shutdown
- Includes caddy tray for secure 3.5-inch bay mounting
Capacity and interface
This 146.8GB internal hard drive uses a 3.5-inch Ultra-320 SCSI 80-pin connection and spins at 10000RPM. It is designed for servers or workstations that require this specific legacy interface and hot-swap capability.
Sustained workload behaviour
The 10000RPM spindle speed supports consistent throughput for random I/O patterns typical of database or transaction logs. Mechanical latency remains constant during extended operations, avoiding the thermal throttling seen in some high-density modern drives.
Build and daily implications
The unit ships with a caddy/tray for tool-less insertion into compatible hot-swap bays. The 80-pin SCA connector combines power and data, reducing cable clutter, while the 2.0 pound weight reflects a robust mechanical assembly suited to continuous operation.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 10000RPM 146.8GB Ultra-320 SCSI drive draw when running continuously?
The drive spins at 10000RPM and connects via an 80-pin Ultra-320 SCSI interface; specific power-draw figures are not supplied.
What host adapter or backplane is required to use the 80-pin Ultra-320 SCSI connector on this 3.5" drive?
The 80-pin connector carries both data and power for hot-swap backplanes, so a compatible Ultra-320 SCSI controller or hot-swap cage is needed.
Will the 8B146J0 work in a server that only supports Wide Ultra-2 SCSI speeds?
The drive uses an Ultra-320 80-pin interface; it will negotiate down to the bus speed of the host controller.
