Western Digital XE 600GB SAS Enterprise Drive

The Western Digital XE WD6001BKHG is a 600GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage. It spins at 10000 RPM with a 32MB cache and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The bare drive measures 15mm in height and is designed for high-density performance in demanding applications.

Suited for servers and arrays needing dual-port

This drive fits systems that require dual-port, full-duplex SAS connectivity and the reliability features of the XE series such as RAFF and NoTouch ramp load technology. It is not for laptops or workstations that lack a SAS controller or backplane, nor for slim bays limited to drives thinner than 15mm.

SAS 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines whether this is the correct part is the SAS 6Gb/s interface; the host must provide a compatible SAS port and backplane to use this drive.

Questions about this item

Does this 2.5-inch 15mm high SAS drive fit in the same bay as my old 2.5-inch laptop drive?

The drive is 15mm tall, so it only fits bays designed for 15mm height; many laptop bays accept only thinner drives.

Can I connect this 6Gb/s SAS drive to a controller that only supports 3Gb/s SAS?

SAS 6Gb/s devices negotiate down to 3Gb/s, so the drive will operate at the controller's maximum speed.

How do I verify the drive is running at 10000 RPM after installation?

SMART data or the controller BIOS will report the spindle speed as 10000 RPM and show a healthy SAS link at 6Gb/s.
