  • 15000 RPM spindle speed cuts random-access latency
  • 600 GB capacity stores large server workloads
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface connects to enterprise controllers
  • 16 MB cache buffers burst I/O traffic
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays

600 GB 15K RPM SAS hard drive

This is a new Dell Cheetah 15K.7 enterprise hard drive with a 600 GB capacity and a 15,000 RPM spindle speed. It uses a 3.5 inch SAS 6Gb/s interface and includes a 16 MB cache buffer. The bare drive weighs 2.0 pounds and carries a 90 day warranty.

Suited for SAS storage arrays and servers

This drive fits servers and storage arrays that accept a 3.5 inch SAS 6Gb/s drive and need high-speed rotational performance. It is not for systems that only support 2.5 inch form factors or interfaces other than SAS. Buyers who need a larger capacity or a different physical size should look at other options.

Interface is SAS 6Gb/s

The single specification that decides fitment is the SAS 6Gb/s interface; the drive requires a compatible SAS controller or backplane to operate. Verify that your system supports this interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

Is this 600 GB 15K SAS drive the only capacity available in this model?

The ST3600057SS is supplied as a 600 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drive with a 16 MB buffer. Other capacities would carry a different part number.

What does the 15 000 RPM spindle speed mean for actual server workloads?

A 15 000 RPM spindle delivers low average latency and high sustained transfer rates, suited to transaction-heavy databases and high-IOPS applications.

The drive uses a SAS 6 Gb/s interface — what throughput does that allow in practice?

The 6 Gb/s SAS link caps the interface at roughly 600 MB/s; real-world throughput depends on the controller, queue depth and the drive’s own media speed.
