SKU CH-B7YM-XE0VZ

A 600 GB 15000 RPM SAS hard drive with 64 MB cache, supplied in a 3.5 inch tray

  • 600 GB capacity stores large server datasets
  • 15000 RPM spindle speed accelerates transaction processing
  • 6 Gb/s SAS interface delivers reliable enterprise throughput
  • 64 MB cache buffers burst I/O workloads
  • Includes 3.5" hot-swap caddy for quick deployment

600GB 15000RPM SAS Enterprise Drive

This new IBM HUS156060VLS600 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for servers and storage arrays that demand high rotational speed. It delivers 600GB of capacity, a 15000RPM spindle, and a 64MB cache buffer. The package includes a system storage caddy for hot-swap installation in compatible bays.

Suits Transactional Workloads

The SAS 6Gb/s interface and 15000RPM speed suit databases, virtualisation hosts, and other I/O-intensive applications where low latency matters. Buyers who need larger capacities, lower power consumption, or quieter operation for desktop use should look elsewhere.

15000RPM Spindle Speed Decides Fit

The 15000RPM rotational speed is the single specification that determines whether this drive matches the workload. It provides the sustained random IOPS required for tier-0 storage tiers. Verify that the target chassis and controller support 3.5-inch SAS drives before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5" SAS drive with the included caddy into a server backplane?

Slide the drive into the supplied SYSTEM STORAGE caddy until the connector seats firmly on the 6Gb/s SAS backplane, then lock the tray handle; the step most often missed is not pushing the caddy far enough for the SAS port to click into place.

What maintenance or replacement will the 600GB 15000RPM drive need over its service life?

The mechanical spindle and actuator are sealed; no user-serviceable parts exist, so the only replacement is the entire drive once SMART attributes indicate wear or the 64MB cache can no longer mask read retries.

Which limit appears first during sustained write workloads on this 6Gb/s SAS drive?

The 6Gb/s SAS interface caps sustained throughput well before the 15000RPM platters or 64MB buffer reach their own ceilings, so the bus bandwidth becomes the bottleneck during long sequential writes.
