Dell DYDW0 600GB 15K SAS drive

This Dell DYDW0 is a 600GB 2.5" internal hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a SAS interface rated at 12Gb/s. It is built for enterprise servers and storage arrays that demand high transaction rates and low latency. The hot-swap tray allows drive replacement without powering down the chassis. Supplied as a bare drive in original or OEM packaging.

Suits high-IOPS enterprise workloads

This drive suits database servers, virtualisation hosts and tier-one storage tiers where 15K spindle speed and dual-port SAS reliability are required. It is not for buyers who need larger capacity per spindle, silent operation for desktop use, or solid-state latency. Systems without a SAS backplane or controller cannot use this drive.

15000 RPM spindle speed

The single specification that decides fit is the 15000 RPM rotational speed. It delivers the sustained random IOPS and low average latency that 15K SAS workloads expect. If the target workload is capacity-bound rather than IOPS-bound, a lower-RPM higher-capacity drive may be more appropriate.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 15000 RPM 600GB SAS drive draw when running continuously?

The 2.5" 15000 RPM SAS drive consumes more power than slower models due to its high spindle speed; ensure your enclosure or server provides adequate cooling and a sufficient 12V rail for sustained operation.

Does the 2.5" SAS 600GB hot-swap drive include a mounting tray or caddy?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit without a tray; you must already have a compatible 2.5" SAS hot-swap carrier or backplane bay that accepts the standard SFF connector.

Will this 12Gb/s SAS 15K drive negotiate down to 6Gb/s on my older RAID controller?

Yes, the SAS interface auto-negotiates link speed, so the 12Gb/s drive will operate at 6Gb/s when connected to a 6Gb/s controller or backplane without any configuration changes.
