Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 450GB 15K SAS Drive

This Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for enterprise servers and storage arrays. It delivers 450GB of capacity with a 15K RPM spindle speed over a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The drive is supplied new in a lot of five units.

Suits High-IOPS Server Workloads

This drive suits administrators who need low-latency, high-IOPS performance for transactional databases or tier-zero applications. It is not for systems lacking a SAS host bus adapter or backplane. Buyers needing larger capacities per spindle or silent desktop operation should look elsewhere.

SAS 6Gb/s Interface Decides Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 3.5 inch SAS 6Gb/s interface. Your server or array must provide a matching SAS port and 3.5 inch bay. Without that connection the drive cannot be installed or used.

Questions about this item

How do I install the ST3450857SS in a 3.5" SAS bay and which step is often missed?

Mount the 3.5" LFF drive in the bay, connect the SAS 6Gb/s data and power cables, then enable the drive in the RAID or HBA BIOS so the 450GB volume appears.

What maintenance or replacement will the Cheetah 15K.7 need over time?

The 15K RPM mechanical drive will eventually require replacement when bearing wear or media errors appear; no user-serviceable parts exist inside the sealed 3.5" chassis.

What limit appears first on the ST3450857SS during sustained heavy I/O?

The 6Gb/s SAS interface caps sustained throughput, so the 15K RPM platters cannot push data faster than the link allows.
