Enterprise Fibre Channel Drive

The Seagate Cheetah ST3600057FC is a 600GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It spins at 15000 RPM with a 16MB cache and connects via a Fibre Channel 4Gb/s interface. Supplied as a bare drive, it targets high-throughput server environments.

Suited for Legacy Array Upgrades

This drive suits administrators maintaining or expanding existing Fibre Channel 4Gb/s infrastructure where 15000 RPM performance is required. It is not for systems lacking a native Fibre Channel backplane or host bus adapter, nor for workloads demanding capacities beyond 600GB.

Deciding Spec — Fibre Channel 4Gb/s

The Fibre Channel 4Gb/s interface is the single specification that determines compatibility. The drive will only function in enclosures and controllers designed for this specific protocol and signalling rate. Verify the host system supports Fibre Channel 4Gb/s before purchase.

Questions about this item

How does the 15000 RPM spindle speed affect sustained throughput limits?

The 15000 RPM spindle reduces rotational latency and raises the maximum sustained transfer rate compared with slower drives.

What is the typical power draw and noise level when the drive runs continuously?

Expect higher power consumption and audible seek noise than lower-speed drives due to the 15000 RPM motor.

Which host bus adapter or controller is required for the Fibre Channel 4Gb/s interface?

A compatible 4Gb/s Fibre Channel HBA with the correct cable and SFP module is needed to connect this drive.
