Seagate ST9600205SS 600GB 10000RPM 64MB 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

Enterprise 600 GB SAS Drive

The Seagate Savvio 10K.5 ST9600205SS is a 2.5-inch SAS hard drive built for enterprise servers and storage arrays. It delivers 600 GB capacity at 10000 RPM with a 64 MB cache on a 6 Gb/s SAS interface. The drive is supplied new and targets workloads that demand consistent throughput and low latency in a compact form factor.

High-IOPS Server Workloads

This drive suits administrators who need fast random access for databases, virtualisation hosts or transaction-heavy applications. The 10000 RPM spindle and SAS dual-port connectivity support multi-path redundancy and sustained performance. Buyers who need larger capacity per drive or a different interface should consider other options. Systems limited to 3 Gb/s SAS or without 2.5-inch bays cannot use this unit.

6 Gb/s SAS Interface Decides Fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 6 Gb/s SAS interface. The host controller or backplane must support SAS at this speed and provide a 2.5-inch drive bay with the correct power and signal connectors. Without a matching SAS port the drive will not function, regardless of capacity or spindle speed.
