MBB2147 SAS

2.5-Inch SAS, 73GB/147GB, 10K RPM
MBB2073RC - MBB2147RC

"Great Performance SAS HDD for Mission Critical Servers and Storage"


The MBB2147 SAS series HDD features a spindle speed of 10,000 rpm and a storage capacity of up to 147GB. This RoHS compliant HDD series is hot pluggable and has the best-in-class idle power consumption of 4.7 watts. These drives' significantly small form factor as compared to 3.5" drives and lower power consumption per drive reduces system cooling requirements.

Ideal for Mission-Critical Systems and Applications

The MBB2147 SAS series HDD is best suited for data-intensive mission-critical systems residing on database servers, storage arrays, NAS and SAN systems.
