Accortec 146 GB Hard Drive - 2.5" Internal - SAS (3Gb/s SAS)

Discover the Accortec 146 GB Hard Drive, a compact yet powerhouse storage solution designed for demanding server and workstation environments. Built around a 2.5-inch internal form factor and a SAS interface, this drive delivers quick access to hot data thanks to its 10,000 RPM spindle speed. With 146 GB of storage capacity, it provides a solid base for operating systems, cache, boot drives, or high-demand data in RAID configurations. The 3 Gb/s SAS interface ensures reliable data transfer with enterprise-grade data integrity, making it an excellent choice for IT professionals who require fast, efficient storage that fits into dense server racks and 2.5-inch drive bays. Whether you’re refreshing a legacy storage array or building a compact, high-performance data path, this Accortec drive is engineered to deliver consistent performance, reliable operation, and straightforward integration into existing SAS infrastructures.

  • Speed and responsiveness: Spinning at 10,000 RPM and paired with a 3 Gb/s SAS interface, this 146 GB drive is optimized for rapid data access. It minimizes latency for frequently accessed files, databases, and application caches, helping systems boot faster, retrieve data quickly, and execute tasks with fewer pauses. The combination of high spindle speed and SAS connectivity supports improved random I/O performance, which is critical for small, hot data sets in server and workstation workloads.
  • Compact, enterprise-ready form factor: The 2.5-inch internal drive design is purpose-built for dense deployments where space is at a premium. This form factor fits a wide range of backplanes, drive trays, and chassis configurations, enabling efficient utilization of 2.5-inch bays in servers, storage shelves, and workstations. Despite its slim profile, the drive is engineered to withstand the rigors of continuous operation in enterprise environments, delivering dependable performance in constrained spaces.
  • Reliable, consistent performance for critical workloads: With 146 GB of capacity, this drive is ideal for hosting operating systems, boot drives, scratch space, and hot data that require fast access. The SAS interface provides robust data integrity and error management, which helps sustain steady throughput in multi-drive configurations and RAID arrays. It’s a sound choice for database indexing, log storage, and cache-tier applications where predictable I/O is valued over raw capacity.
  • Energy efficiency and durability: While 10k RPM drives demand more power than lower-speed options, they are purpose-built for enterprise reliability and lasting performance. The Accortec model is designed for long runtimes, with rigorous testing for vibration, heat, and shock tolerance in data-center settings. Its durable construction and consistent performance help reduce maintenance needs and total cost of ownership in mission-critical storage deployments.
  • Seamless SAS integration and versatility: The 3 Gb/s SAS interface is compatible with common SAS controllers, backplanes, and storage infrastructures found in servers and professional workstations. This drive can contribute to robust storage pools when used in RAID configurations or caching schemes, enabling higher aggregate throughput and improved data safety in environments that require dependable, flexible storage options.

How to install Accortec 146 GB Hard Drive

Installing the Accortec 146 GB SAS hard drive in a compatible system is straightforward and follows standard practices for 2.5-inch SAS drives. Start by powering down the server or workstation and unplugging the power supply. Identify a free 2.5-inch drive bay or hot-swap tray within the enclosure and prepare it for installation. Align the drive with the backplane connectors so the SAS data interface and power connector will mate securely. Slide the drive into the bay until it is firmly seated, then secure it with any screws or retention hardware provided by the chassis to prevent movement during operation. Connect the SAS data cable from the backplane or controller to the drive’s SAS interface, followed by the compatible power connection. Re-seat the tray or panel to ensure a stable fit, then power on the system. Enter the BIOS or the RAID controller utility to confirm that the drive is recognized. If you are configuring a RAID array, add the new drive to the appropriate group and initialize the logical volume per your storage policy. After the system boots, monitor drive health and SMART status using your preferred management tools to ensure continued reliability and performance in your storage environment.
