HGST HUC109060CSS601 600GB 10000RPM 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

600GB 10K SAS drive for servers

This 2.5 inch SAS hard drive spins at 10000 RPM and offers 600GB of capacity. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that need consistent random-access speed. The 6Gb/s interface fits standard SAS backplanes and RAID controllers. It suits IT teams replacing failed drives in qualified systems.

Capacity and sustained throughput

The 600GB capacity provides room for operating systems, databases and high-transaction workloads. At 10000 RPM the drive delivers low latency for random reads and writes, but sequential throughput is limited by the 6Gb/s SAS link. Heavy media streaming or large backup jobs will saturate the interface before the platters run out of space.

2.5 inch SAS build and daily use

The drive uses a standard 2.5 inch SAS form factor weighing 1.0 pound and mounts in hot-swap trays without adapters. Dual-port SAS connectors support multipath I/O for redundancy in clustered environments. It is not suitable for laptops, desktops or consumer NAS units that lack a SAS controller and backplane power.
