Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 600GB SAS Enterprise Drive

The Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 ST3600057SS is a new 3.5-inch enterprise hard drive built for high-throughput server and storage arrays. It spins at 15000 RPM on a SAS 6Gb/s interface with 16MB cache, delivering sustained transfer rates up to 204MB/s and an average seek time of 3.4ms.

Suited for transaction-heavy workloads

This drive targets environments that demand the highest 3.5-inch reliability and low latency for random I/O, such as database, email and NAS deployments. Buyers needing larger capacity per spindle or lower power draw per terabyte should consider alternatives.

SAS 6Gb/s interface and 15000 RPM spindle

The dual-port SAS 6Gb/s connection and 15000 RPM rotation speed are the decisive specifications; they determine controller compatibility and the sustained throughput ceiling for mission-critical applications.

Questions about this item

What maximum throughput does the SAS 6Gb/s interface allow on this drive?

The SAS 6Gb/s interface supports up to 6 Gb/s, while the drive itself delivers a sustained data rate of up to 204MB/s.

Will the 25.40 mm height fit a standard 3.5-inch drive bay?

Yes, the 25.40 mm height matches the standard 3.5-inch form factor and fits typical enterprise drive bays.

How is the drive installed in a server, and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive using the 3.5-inch screw holes, connect the SAS data and power cables, then configure the drive in the RAID controller BIOS so the operating system can see it.
