Refurbished 600GB 15K Fibre Channel Drive

This refurbished Seagate Cheetah ST3600057FC-FR is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a 4Gb/s Fibre Channel interface. It offers 600GB capacity and 16MB cache for enterprise storage arrays and servers requiring high-throughput block access. The bare-drive unit uses third-generation perpendicular recording to reach sustained rates up to 204 MB/s.

Suited for Fibre Channel Arrays Not General PCs

This drive suits administrators maintaining or expanding existing Fibre Channel SANs, transaction-processing clusters or database tiers that demand 15K spindle speed and 2ms average latency. Builders without Fibre Channel host bus adapters, backplanes or multipath software cannot use the 4Gb/s interface and should select a different drive.

4Gb/s Fibre Channel Interface Decides Compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 4Gb/s Fibre Channel interface, which requires matching controllers, cables and enclosure slots. Without that infrastructure the 600GB capacity and 15000 RPM performance cannot be accessed, so verify the host environment before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will this 3.5" 600GB drive fit in the same hot-swap tray as my existing 3.5" Fibre Channel disks?

Yes, the drive uses the standard 3.5" form factor with 1.0" height, 4.0" width and 5.76" length, matching common enterprise trays.

Can I run this 15000 RPM drive on my older 2Gb/s Fibre Channel controller?

The 4Gb/s Fibre Channel interface is backwards compatible, so the drive will negotiate down to 2Gb/s and operate normally.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the rated 204MB/s sustained transfer after installation?

Run a sequential read test with a tool such as fio or CrystalDiskMark and confirm sustained throughput approaches 204MB/s.
