  • 600 GB capacity stores large datasets

  • 16 MB cache buffers burst workloads
  • Includes R-series caddy for direct 3.5" bay installation

Dell 600 GB 15K SAS enterprise drive

This 3.5-inch SAS hard drive spins at 15000 rpm and delivers 600 GB of storage with a 16 MB cache. It is built for servers and storage arrays that demand high transaction rates and low latency. The unit ships new and includes the Dell R-series caddy for direct installation.

Suited for high-IOPS server workloads

Database servers, virtualisation hosts and tier-one storage pools benefit from the 15K rpm spindle and 6 Gb/s SAS interface. The drive is not intended for quiet desktop use, for archival storage that favours capacity over speed, or for systems that lack a SAS backplane or controller.

6 Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The drive connects through a 3.5-inch SAS port running at 6 Gb/s. A matching SAS controller or backplane is required; the drive will not operate on interfaces that do not support this specification.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell ST3600057SS ship with the R Series caddy or tray, or must I buy a bracket separately?

The listing states the drive includes the R Series caddy/tray, so no separate bracket is required for a compatible Dell bay.

Which capacity and speed variant of the Cheetah 15K.7 line is this model?

This is the 600 GB capacity running at 15000 RPM with a 16 MB cache on a SAS 6Gb/s interface.

How does the 15000 RPM spindle speed affect real-world performance in a server?

The higher spindle speed reduces rotational latency, improving random read/write response times for transaction-heavy workloads.
