  • 600GB capacity supports large datasets
  • 15000RPM spindle delivers fast data access
  • SAS 6Gb/s interface enables high-throughput connectivity
  • 16MB cache buffers bursts for smoother performance
  • 5in form factor fits standard drive bays

Enterprise storage drive

The DELL ST3600057SS is a 600GB 3.5in internal hard drive built for enterprise arrays. It spins at 15000RPM and connects through a 6Gb/s SAS interface with a 16MB buffer. Supplied as new units with zero hours of operation.

High-speed transaction workloads

This drive suits databases and tier-one applications that demand low latency and high IOPS from mechanical media. It is not for cold archiving, bulk media libraries or any role where capacity per pound outweighs response time.

SAS 6Gb/s host connection

A 6Gb/s SAS host connection is required; the drive will not operate on slower SAS links. The 3.5in form factor and SAS interface together decide whether the drive fits the target chassis and controller.

Questions about this item

How is the 3.5" SAS drive installed and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a 3.5-inch bay, connect the SAS data and power cables, then configure the controller to recognise the 6 Gb/s link — skipping the controller setup leaves the drive invisible.

What maintenance or replacement will the ST3600057SS need later?

The 15000 RPM mechanical mechanism will eventually wear; plan to replace the unit when SMART reallocated-sector counts rise or audible bearing noise appears.

What limit appears first during sustained use of the 600 GB 15000 RPM drive?

The 16 MB cache fills quickly under heavy write streams, so sustained throughput drops to the physical media rate once the buffer is exhausted.
