15K RPM SAS Hard Drives
Refurbished 15,000 RPM hard drives: 15K SAS drives in 2.5-inch SFF and 3.5-inch LFF, from 36GB to 900GB, at 3, 6 and 12 Gb/s, for servers whose work is random I/O rather than bulk capacity. The listing is mostly HPE Enterprise and Dell drives, with Seagate, Fujitsu and Sun Oracle units, and every one is SAS. Our lab tests each 15K drive as it arrives and again before shipping.

What 15,000 RPM buys
A faster spindle cuts the wait for data to rotate under the head. Seagate rates its 15K Exos 15E900 at 2.0 ms average latency and 300 to 210 MB/s sustained transfer, against the 2.9 ms Seagate gives its 10K Exos 10E2400, and names OLTP, databases and other transaction-based applications as the 15E900's best fit. The cost is capacity: that 15K family stops at 900GB in 2.5-inch.
| Link speed | 2.5-inch capacities listed | 3.5-inch capacities listed | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12Gb/s | 300GB to 900GB | 300GB | Dell TRCN6 600GB, Dell 0RVDT 300GB, HPE 867254-001 300GB SFF, HP 737298-001 300GB LFF |
| 6Gb/s | 72GB to 600GB | 146GB to 600GB | Dell 6WC9D 300GB, HP 653950-001 146GB SFF, HPE 516810-001 300GB LFF |
| 3Gb/s | 36GB to 146GB | 73GB to 450GB | HP 481653-003 300GB LFF, Seagate ST373454SS 73GB, Dell 9CL066-057 450GB |
Older drives keep working on newer controllers: Broadcom's SAS 9300 HBAs support 3, 6 and 12Gb/s link rates, and Seagate's 12Gb/s 15E900 negotiates 3.0, 6.0 or 12.0 Gb/s on each port.
Servers and alternatives
Dell's R750 supported-drive list includes a 900GB 12Gb SAS 15K 2.5-inch drive, and HPE's DL380 Gen10 QuickSpecs list 15K Enterprise SAS drives at 300GB, 600GB and 900GB, so 15K drives sit on the supported lists of both the PowerEdge R750 and the ProLiant DL380 Gen10. For more capacity per bay, step to 10K RPM SAS drives; for bulk storage, NL-SAS; and SAS SSDs use the same SAS bays and controllers. Every 15K drive also appears in SAS hard drives, and each comes with an Enterasource warranty for the period shown on its listing.
