Seagate ST600MM0006 600 GB 2.5" 10000rpm 64 MB SAS laptop hard drive

Seagate Savvio 10K.6 600 GB SAS Drive

This new 2.5 inch enterprise hard drive delivers 600 GB capacity with a 10000 rpm spindle and 64 MB buffer. The SAS interface supports dual-port connectivity for high-availability server and storage arrays. PowerChoice technology provides T10-compliant power management to balance performance and consumption. Seagate RAID Rebuild and Protection Information features accelerate recovery and guard data integrity.

Suits High-Availability Enterprise Storage

IT teams needing mission-critical drives with hardware-based data protection and fast RAID recovery will benefit from the Savvio 10K.6 feature set. The drive includes Seagate Instant Secure Erase for rapid, verified sanitisation when retiring or repurposing assets. Buyers who require a consumer laptop upgrade should look elsewhere because the SAS interface and enterprise firmware are not compatible with standard notebook controllers. Systems without a SAS backplane or HBA cannot use this drive.

10000 rpm SAS Interface Decides Fit

The 10000 rpm rotational speed and SAS interface are the defining specifications that determine whether this drive matches the target workload and host infrastructure. A 6 Gb/s SAS controller or backplane is required to communicate with the drive. Without that interface the drive cannot be installed or recognised. Verify the host platform supports enterprise SAS drives before purchase.
