Ten silver 3.5 inch SAS hard drives in black Dell caddies

DELL

DELL ST3600057SS 600GB 15000RPM 3.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-D95S-2R90X

Pack of ten 600 GB 15 000 RPM 3.5-inch SAS drives with 16 MB cache and R-series caddies

  • 15,000 RPM for rapid data access
  • 600 GB capacity stores large workloads
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface enables fast transfers
  • 16 MB cache smooths burst operations
  • Includes R Series caddy for Dell PowerEdge fit

Enterprise 15K SAS drive

This 600GB 15000RPM 3.5" SAS hard drive targets database servers and transaction-heavy workloads that demand low latency and high IOPS. The 15K spindle speed and 16MB cache suit environments where sustained random access matters more than raw capacity. Buyers needing large sequential archives or quiet desktop storage should look elsewhere.

Sustained 15K performance

At 15000RPM the platters maintain consistent rotational velocity under continuous read-write streams, reducing the latency spikes seen on slower spindles during prolonged database scans. The 16MB buffer absorbs burst commands without stalling the SAS link. Workloads that idle for long periods gain no advantage over lower-RPM alternatives.

SAS 6Gb/s interface limit

The 6Gb/s SAS connection caps maximum throughput at the interface rate, so sustained transfers cannot exceed that ceiling regardless of drive internals. Dual-port SAS topology provides path redundancy but does not double single-stream bandwidth. Systems limited to 3Gb/s backplanes will throttle the drive to half its rated interface speed.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 15000RPM SAS drive generate when running continuously?

The 15000RPM spindle and SAS 6Gb/s interface mean higher sustained throughput, which produces more heat and acoustic output than slower drives; ensure the server chassis airflow matches the 15K.7 design envelope.

What host hardware is required for the 3.5" SAS 6Gb/s interface to function?

A server backplane or HBA with a 3.5" SAS 6Gb/s port is needed; the included R Series caddy fits Dell PowerEdge bays so the drive seats directly into the hot-plug tray.

Will the 600GB 15K.7 drive work in an older PowerEdge that only supports 3Gb/s SAS backplanes?

The SAS 6Gb/s interface negotiates down to 3Gb/s on legacy backplanes, so the ST3600057SS will operate at the slower link speed while retaining full 600GB capacity and 16MB cache.
