Dell EqualLogic 600 GB 15K SAS Drive

This Dell EqualLogic ST3600057SS is a new 600 GB enterprise hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a 6 Gb/s SAS interface and 16 MB cache. It ships in a 3.5 inch form factor complete with the Dell caddy required for hot-swap bays in EqualLogic PS6000 arrays. The unit weighs 2.0 pound and carries a one year warranty.

Suits EqualLogic PS6000 hot-swap bays

IT teams maintaining Dell EqualLogic PS6000 storage arrays will find this drive a direct replacement for failed or missing 600 GB 15K SAS spindles. The included tray ensures tool-less installation in the correct carrier. Buyers who need larger capacities or different form factors should look elsewhere, as this unit is fixed at 600 GB and the 3.5 inch SAS specification.

6 Gb/s SAS interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 6 Gb/s SAS interface; the drive will only function in controllers and backplanes that support this exact protocol. Verify that your array or server accepts 6 Gb/s SAS 3.5 inch drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5" SAS drive and caddy into a Dell PS6000 array, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the supplied caddy until the connector seats firmly, then insert the assembly into the hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is fully engaging the latch so the SAS backplane makes reliable 6Gb/s contact.

What maintenance or replacement will the ST3600057SS need during its service life?

The 15000RPM mechanical mechanism and 16MB cache are sealed; no user-serviceable parts exist, so the only replacement is the entire drive if SMART data reports reallocated sectors or bearing noise appears.

What limit appears first when the 600GB SAS drive runs sustained workloads?

The 15000RPM spindle and 6Gb/s SAS interface can saturate the 16MB buffer during heavy sequential writes, making buffer throughput the first bottleneck under sustained load.
