  • Product typeHDD/SSD
  • 600GB capacity stores large enterprise datasets
  • 15000RPM spindle speed delivers rapid data access
  • SAS interface provides 600MB/s transfer rate
  • 64MB cache accelerates read and write operations
  • Self-encrypting drive protects data at rest

Enterprise 15K SAS Drive

The Hitachi Ultrastar 15K600 is a 3.5 inch enterprise hard drive built for servers and storage arrays that require sustained throughput. Its 15000RPM spindle speed and SAS interface target workloads such as transactional databases, virtualization hosts and high-performance computing clusters where low latency matters.

600MB/s SAS Transfer Rate

The single specification that decides fit is the 600MB/s transfer rate over a SAS connection. A backplane or controller that cannot sustain this bandwidth will bottleneck the drive, so verify that your host bus adapter and cabling support the full 6Gb/s SAS link before installation.

Hot-Swap SED With 64MB Cache

The drive ships with hot-swap capability, advanced power management and self-encrypting drive technology. Hot-swap allows replacement without powering down the chassis, the power management reduces idle consumption, and the hardware encryption secures data at rest without host software overhead.

Questions about this item

What does the 15000RPM rotation speed mean for real-world performance on this 600GB drive?

The 15000RPM spindle reduces rotational latency, letting the 600GB platters serve random read and write requests faster than slower-spinning drives.

How does the SAS interface affect the 600MB/S transfer rate in practice?

The SAS link supports the quoted 600MB/S maximum transfer rate, so sustained sequential throughput is capped at that figure when the host controller and cabling match the specification.

Will the 3.5in form factor with 1.02in height fit my hot-swap bay?

The drive measures 4in wide, 5.76in deep and 1.02in high, matching standard 3.5in hot-swap carrier dimensions for tool-less installation.
