DELL W347K 600GB 15K 16MB SAS 6.0Gb/s 3.5" internal hard drive

Enterprise SAS Drive

The Dell W347K is a 600GB 3.5-inch hard drive built for Dell PowerEdge servers. It uses a SAS 6.0Gb/s interface and spins at 15000 RPM with a 16MB cache. This new drive ships in a tray compatible with R Series chassis.

Sustained Workload Behaviour

The 15000 RPM spindle speed maintains consistent throughput during extended read and write operations. A 6.0Gb/s SAS link supports steady data transfer without the latency spikes seen on slower interfaces. The 16MB cache absorbs bursts to keep queues moving under heavy multi-user loads.

Thermals Noise Power

Enterprise firmware manages seek activity to limit heat output inside dense R Series enclosures. Mechanical noise stays within server-room norms for 15K drives. Power draw scales with the 6.0Gb/s SAS interface and high spindle speed during normal operation.
