450GB 15000RPM SAS 3.5" internal hard drive with included system storage caddy

  • 450 GB capacity stores large datasets and applications
  • 15000 RPM spindle speed delivers fast data access
  • SAS 6Gbps interface provides high-throughput connectivity
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard desktop drive bays
  • Includes IBM System Storage caddy for secure installation

450 GB 15 000 RPM SAS drive for enterprise servers

This 3.5-inch internal hard drive delivers 450 GB of storage at 15 000 RPM over a 6 Gbps SAS interface. It is built for IBM System Storage arrays and compatible servers that require high-speed rotational media. The ST3450857SS model is supplied new with a 1-year warranty.

Included SYSTEM STORAGE caddy simplifies

The bundled caddy matches the drive carrier used in IBM System Storage enclosures. It lets administrators slide the drive into a hot-swap bay without sourcing a separate tray. No additional software or mounting hardware is supplied in the package.

6 Gbps SAS interface caps maximum throughput

The SAS 6 Gbps link limits sustained transfer rates to the bandwidth of that standard. Systems with only 3 Gbps backplanes will operate at the lower speed. The 3.5-inch form factor requires a full-height drive bay and will not fit 2.5-inch slots.

Questions about this item

How often will the 15000RPM SAS mechanism need replacement under heavy workloads?

Enterprise 15000RPM SAS drives are rated for continuous operation; the 450GB ST3450857SS includes a 1-year warranty and ships with a SYSTEM STORAGE caddy for straightforward swap-out when the drive reaches end of life.

Which limit appears first during sustained transfers on the 6Gbps SAS link?

The 6Gbps SAS interface caps burst throughput, while the 15000RPM platters determine sustained sequential speed; in practice the mechanical media limit is reached before the interface saturates.

How loud and hot does the ST3450857SS run when powered all day?

The 3.5in 15000RPM unit draws more power and generates more heat than slower drives; it requires adequate chassis airflow and emits audible seek noise typical of high-performance SAS spindles.
