SKU CH-7Z8T-APJPX MPN HUC156060CSS200

High-performance 600 GB 15K RPM SAS 2.5" drive for enterprise storage systems

  • Enterprise storage ready with 600 GB capacity
  • High-speed data access at 15000 RPM
  • Reliable SAS interface for server environments
  • Compact 2.5 in form factor fits dense arrays
  • New condition ensures full manufacturer specification

Enterprise 15K SAS drive

This 600 GB IBM drive spins at 15000 RPM and connects through a 12 Gb/s SAS interface in a 2.5 in form factor. It is built for high-throughput server and storage arrays that demand consistent low-latency performance. The HUC156060CSS200 carries IBM SYSTEM STORAGE branding and is supplied new.

Suits transaction-heavy workloads

Database administrators and storage architects running OLTP, virtualization hosts or high-frequency logging will benefit from the sustained IOPS of a 15K spindle. It is not for laptop upgrades, desktop PCs or external enclosures that lack a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and enterprise-grade cooling. Buyers needing larger capacities or silent operation should consider other form factors.

15000 RPM spindle speed

The 15K rotation rate is the single specification that determines whether this drive meets the latency and IOPS targets of the intended workload. Verify that the host controller, backplane and firmware support 12 Gb/s SAS and 2.5 in enterprise drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5 in SAS drive fit a standard 2.5 in drive bay with a 12 Gb/s backplane?

Yes, the 2.5 in form factor matches common enterprise bays and the SAS interface runs at 12 Gb/s, so it connects directly to a compatible backplane without adapters.

What is the correct orientation when sliding the HUC156060CSS200 into a hot-swap tray?

Insert the drive label-side up with the SAS connector facing the rear of the tray; the tray’s keyed guide pins prevent upside-down insertion, but forcing it can bend the connector pins.

How often should I check SMART data on a 15000 RPM SAS drive?

Review SMART attributes at least monthly; 15000 RPM mechanical drives wear faster than slower models, so early reallocated-sector or seek-error trends give time to replace the 600 GB unit before failure.
