Dell Cheetah 15K.6 SAS Drive

The Dell Cheetah 15K.6 YP778 is a 300GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 15000RPM with a SAS 3Gb/s interface and 8MB cache. It is built for servers and workstations that require high-speed mechanical storage in a standard enterprise form factor. The drive arrives new with firmware HS09.

Suits SAS-Equipped Systems

This drive fits 3.5-inch bays in systems that provide a SAS 3Gb/s backplane or controller. Buyers whose chassis or controller only accepts slower interfaces or smaller form factors should look elsewhere. It is also not suited for users needing larger capacities or solid-state latency.

15000RPM Spindle Speed

The 15000RPM rotational speed is the defining specification that determines whether this drive meets the performance profile for transaction-heavy workloads. Verify that the target system supports 3.5-inch SAS drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.5" SAS 3Gb/s drive work in my older server that only has 3Gb/s backplanes?

The drive uses a 3Gb/s SAS interface, matching a 3Gb/s backplane; it will negotiate at that speed.

How can I verify the ST3300656SS is running at 15000RPM after installation?

Check the reported rotational speed in your RAID controller BIOS or SMART data; it should show 15000RPM.

Does the YP778 300GB drive ship with mounting screws or a SAS cable, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit; mounting hardware and SAS cables are not included and must be sourced separately.
