HDD HP 146GB 2,5 pollici SAS 10000RPM 505607-001

The HP 146GB 2.5" SAS 10000RPM internal hard drive provides 146 GB of usable capacity in a compact 2.5-inch form factor and uses a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface for high-throughput, low-latency data transfer. With a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, this drive is intended for enterprise and workstation environments where sustained performance and consistent response times are required. It is designed to integrate into server and storage systems that accept 2.5" SAS drives and to support applications that demand faster random access compared with larger, slower-spinning drives.

Advantages

The drive’s 10,000 RPM spindle speed delivers improved I/O performance and reduced access latency compared with lower-speed drives, enabling quicker read/write operations for transactional and mixed workload scenarios. Its 2.5" form factor saves rack and bay space and facilitates higher drive density in server enclosures. Using the SAS interface ensures reliable data transfer with enterprise-class connectivity and error handling. The product is part of HP’s platform stability offering, selected and tested for compatibility with HP workstation and server platforms to provide consistent behavior across product lifecycles.

Suitable for

• Enterprise servers handling mixed I/O workloads
• Workstations requiring faster boot and application load times
• RAID arrays where consistent rotational speed improves performance
• Storage systems prioritizing reliability and sustained throughput

Key specifications

• Capacity: 146 GB
• Form factor: 2.5-inch
• Interface: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
• Rotational speed: 10,000 RPM

How to use

Install the drive into a compatible 2.5" SAS bay or hot-swap tray following the host system manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the server or workstation is powered down if the chassis does not support hot-swapping, then connect the SAS data and power connectors securely. Initialize and format the drive within the operating system or RAID controller according to the intended use, and verify firmware compatibility and drive health using management utilities provided by the system vendor. For RAID deployments, configure the array and perform a synchronization check before placing the drive into production.

Recommendations

Use this 10K RPM SAS drive in environments that benefit from faster spindle speeds and enterprise connectivity. Regularly monitor SMART attributes and maintain backups; follow your platform vendor’s guidelines for firmware updates and compatibility to maintain stable performance across the system lifecycle.
