Silver 2.5 inch SAS hard drive mounted in a black Dell caddy tray

DELL

DELL ST2000NX0433 600GB 7200RPM 12Gbps SAS 2.5" internal hard drive

SKU CH-8QK8-QC8Z3

A 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s internal hard drive with 600GB capacity, 7200RPM speed and 128MB cache

  • 600 GB capacity stores large datasets
  • 7200 RPM spindle delivers responsive throughput
  • 12 Gbps SAS interface enables fast data transfer
  • 128 MB cache buffers intensive workloads
  • 5 inch form factor fits dense server bays

600 GB SAS hard drive for servers

This 2.5 inch drive delivers 600 GB of storage on a 12 Gbps SAS interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes a 128 MB cache for sustained throughput. The package contains ten units with R Series caddies included. It suits arrays that need consistent random I/O performance.

12 Gbps SAS bandwidth ceiling

The 12 Gbps SAS link sets the maximum transfer rate for this drive. Real-world throughput will not exceed that interface limit regardless of spindle speed or cache size. Backward compatibility with slower SAS controllers is standard. Buyers who need higher interface speeds must choose a different drive technology.

600 GB capacity per unit

Each drive provides 600 GB of usable space in a 2.5 inch form factor. The ten-drive lot yields 6 TB total when fully populated. Buyers who need more storage per bay should evaluate higher-capacity models. The fixed capacity is the deciding factor for array planning.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 600 GB or the 2 TB version of the ST2000NX0433?

The drive itself is 600 GB; the 2 TB figure in the supplier title describes the lot of 10 drives combined.

What does the 12 Gbps SAS rating deliver once the drive is installed?

It sets a 12 Gbps ceiling on the host link; sustained throughput will be limited by the 7200 RPM platters and 128 MB cache.

Does the 2.5" SAS 12 Gb/s interface cap performance in a desktop backplane?

The 12 Gb/s SAS interface is the bottleneck only if the controller or backplane runs slower; otherwise the mechanical speed governs.
