Enterprise SAS Drive for Mission-Critical Servers
The Toshiba MBE2147RC is a 147GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise environments. It spins at 15000 RPM with a 16MB cache and connects via a SAS 6Gb/s interface. This combination delivers the low latency and high throughput required by demanding server workloads.
Suited for High-IOPS Server Arrays.
This drive targets administrators deploying high-performance storage in mission-critical servers where 2.9ms average seek time and 2ms latency matter. It is not a fit for builders needing larger capacities for bulk data retention, quieter acoustics for workstation bays, or interfaces other than SAS for direct host connection.
SAS 6Gb/s Interface Determines Compatibility
The drive requires a backplane or controller that supports the SAS 6Gb/s protocol to function. Without a compatible SAS host bus adapter or RAID card presenting the correct electrical and signalling standard, the drive cannot communicate with the system. Verify the controller specification before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the bare drive include any cables or mounting brackets, or must they be purchased separately?
The drive is supplied as a bare unit only; SAS data cables, power cables and any 2.5″ mounting hardware must be sourced separately.
Should I choose the 73GB or 147GB capacity for a high-performance server workload?
The 147GB model provides double the capacity of the 73GB version while keeping the same 15000 RPM speed and 16MB cache, making it the preferred choice when more space is needed for mission-critical data.
What does the 15000 RPM speed mean for actual server performance?
The 15000 RPM spindle delivers a 2.9 ms average seek time and 2 ms average latency, giving the low access delays required by high-transaction server applications.
