Dell 600 GB 15K SAS drive

This 2.5 inch enterprise hard drive delivers 600 GB of storage on a 12 Gb/s SAS interface. It spins at 15000 RPM and uses SLC NAND flash memory. The bare drive is designed for hot-swap server bays in PowerEdge and PowerVault systems.

Hot-swap tray included

The unit ships with a mounting tray that enables tool-less insertion and removal while the server is running. Retail or OEM packaging may vary, but the tray ensures immediate compatibility with Dell drive cages. No additional caddy or bracket is required for supported chassis.

600 GB capacity with 15K speed

The 600 GB capacity suits transactional databases, virtualisation hosts and high-performance caching tiers. The 15000 RPM spindle and 64 MB buffer provide low latency for random I/O workloads. Sequential throughput is limited by the mechanical design, so sustained streaming tasks will saturate the drive before the 12 Gb/s link.

Questions about this item

What maintenance does the 400-AHWR 15000 RPM SAS drive need over time?

Enterprise SAS drives are sealed units with no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the drive once SMART attributes indicate wear or after the rated MTBF interval.

What limit appears first when the 600GB 2.5" 15K drive runs sustained workloads?

The 12Gb/s SAS interface and 15000 RPM spindle set the sustained throughput ceiling; the 64MB cache helps burst traffic but does not raise the steady-state limit.

How much noise, heat or power does the 400-AHWR produce when running all day?

A 15000 RPM 2.5" SAS drive typically draws more power and generates more heat than slower spindles; ensure the server chassis provides adequate airflow for continuous operation.
