Dell 600GB SAS 12Gbps Server Drive

This 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive delivers 600GB of storage with a 10000 RPM spindle speed and a 128MB cache. It uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface for fast data transfer in compatible Dell PowerEdge servers. The drive is certified by Dell and designed for 24x7 availability in data centre environments. Hot-plug capability allows replacement without system downtime.

Capacity and headroom for transactional workloads

The 600GB capacity suits operating system volumes, database logs and high-performance application tiers that benefit from low latency. The 10000 RPM rotational speed and 128MB cache provide responsive random I/O for mixed read-write patterns. Workloads requiring multiple terabytes of bulk storage will exceed the available space on a single drive. Sequential throughput is limited by the mechanical design compared with solid-state alternatives.

SAS 12Gbps interface practical limits

The SAS 12Gb/s link supports up to 12Gbps per lane, but sustained transfer rates depend on the drive's internal media speed and the controller implementation. The 512n sector format ensures compatibility with legacy operating systems and hypervisors that expect 512-byte logical blocks. Systems without a 12Gbps SAS backplane or HBA will operate at lower negotiated speeds. Cable length and connector quality also affect signal integrity at the maximum rate.

Questions about this item

Will the SAS 12Gb/s interface negotiate down to work with my existing 6Gb/s backplane?

The drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface which is backward compatible with 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s controllers, so it will operate at the highest speed the backplane supports.

How can I confirm the drive is running at 10000 RPM after installation?

Use the server BIOS or the iDRAC management console to view the drive inventory; it will report the spindle speed as 10000 RPM and the SAS link rate.

Does the package include a 2.5" hot-plug carrier or must I order one separately?

The drive ships as a bare 2.5" unit; Dell 13G hot-plug carriers are sold separately and are required for tool-less insertion into PowerEdge bays.
