## Long description

The HPE 146 GB 2.5" SAS 10000 RPM internal hard drive is a small-form-factor enterprise drive engineered for server and storage systems that require predictable performance and sustained throughput. With a 2.5" form factor and 10,000 RPM spindle speed, this drive is intended for workloads where low latency and consistent I/O response are important. The drive supports Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interfaces commonly used in blade, rack and tower server environments and is suitable for integration into RAID arrays and high-availability storage configurations.
Advantages
This 2.5" SAS drive provides a balance of performance and space efficiency: its 10,000 RPM rotational speed reduces access times compared with lower-speed HDDs, while the 2.5" form factor allows higher drive density in server chassis. The drive’s enterprise-class design focuses on durability and consistent operation under continuous workloads, and compatibility with SAS controllers ensures reliable connectivity and support for common server management and RAID features.
Suitable for
 Enterprise servers and storage arrays requiring low-latency disk access
 RAID configurations for database and transaction processing systems
 Virtualization hosts with mixed read/write workloads
 Backup or tiered storage where predictable sequential and random performance is needed
Key specifications
 Capacity: 146 GB
