Enterprise Storage Drive

The HGST Ultrastar 15K600 is a 600GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It spins at 15000 RPM with a 64MB cache and connects through a Fibre Channel 4Gb/s interface. The drive is supplied new without a carrier for direct installation into compatible bays.

Target Deployment

This drive suits administrators expanding or repairing Fibre Channel SAN environments that require 15K spindle speed and the 4Gb/s protocol. It is not for systems that need a different interface, a larger capacity than 600GB, or a 2.5-inch form factor. Buyers needing hot-swap trays must source those separately.

Deciding Specification

The Fibre Channel 4Gb/s interface is the single specification that determines compatibility; the drive will only operate with controllers and backplanes that support this exact standard. Verify your infrastructure uses 4Gb/s Fibre Channel before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What throughput does the 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel interface cap at in practice?

The Fibre Channel 4 Gb/s link tops out around 400 MB/s, so sustained reads and writes cannot exceed that ceiling.

Will the 3.5-inch, 25.4 mm high, 147 mm long drive fit my bay and carrier?

It matches a standard 3.5-inch form factor at 1 inch high, 4 inches wide and 5.8 inches deep, but ships without a carrier so you must supply one.

How is the drive installed in a hot-swap enclosure and what step is often missed?

Slide the bare drive into the hot-swap carrier until the connector seats firmly, then lock the carrier handle; the step people skip is fully latching the handle so the drive registers on the bus.
