HDD HPE 146GB 2,5 pulgadas SAS 10000 rpm 418367-B21

The HPE 146GB 2.5" SAS 10000 RPM internal hard drive delivers 146 GB of storage capacity in a 2.5-inch form factor and uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface for reliable, high-speed data transfer. Designed for enterprise servers and storage arrays, this 10,000 RPM drive provides a balance of performance and reliability suited to transactional and mixed-workload environments.

Advantages

The SAS interface combines the proven SCSI command set with a serial connection, enabling efficient data throughput and improved connectivity in server environments. At 10,000 RPM, the drive offers reduced seek latency and faster access times compared with lower-speed drives, while the small 2.5-inch form factor allows higher density deployment in rack-mounted storage systems.

Suitable for

• Database servers handling moderate to high transaction rates
• Virtualisation hosts where predictable performance matters
• Enterprise storage arrays and RAID configurations
• Applications requiring frequent random reads and writes

When it may not be suitable

This 146 GB, 10,000 RPM SAS drive is not optimal for bulk cold storage or archival purposes where large capacity and low cost per gigabyte are the priority. It may also be less suitable for workloads dominated by sequential, high-throughput reads and writes where high-capacity SATA or NVMe drives could be more cost-effective.

Key specifications

• Storage capacity: 146 GB
• Form factor: 2.5-inch
• Interface: Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
• Rotational speed: 10,000 RPM
• Typical use: Enterprise server and storage systems
• Weight: 0.725 kg

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible 2.5-inch SAS bay in a server or storage enclosure following the vendor's hardware installation guidelines. Configure RAID or host-level settings as required by your system, and ensure firmware and drivers are up to date for full compatibility. Monitor drive health and performance with standard server management tools.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm server or enclosure supports 2.5-inch SAS drives and the correct SAS generation
• Assess whether 146 GB capacity meets your dataset and growth requirements
• Decide if 10,000 RPM performance matches your workload characteristics
• Plan RAID and redundancy to meet availability and performance goals

Recommendations

Use this drive in enterprise-class servers or storage arrays for transactional workloads, virtual machines, and RAID configurations where low latency and reliable performance are important. Regularly monitor SMART attributes and incorporate the drive into a documented backup and replacement policy.
