Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 ST3600057SS 600GB 15000RPM 16MB 3.5" SAS internal hard drive

Enterprise 3.5" SAS drive for Tier 1 storage

The Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 is a 600 GB internal hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with a 6 Gb/s SAS interface and 16 MB cache. It is built for mission-critical environments where sustained throughput and low latency are required. PowerTrim technology adjusts power draw across activity levels. The drives are supplied as a lot of 10 with zero hours recorded.

Suits servers and arrays needing 6 Gb/s SAS

This drive fits 3.5-inch bays in enterprise chassis that provide a SAS 6 Gb/s backplane or controller. It is not for systems that lack a SAS host adapter or that require a different physical interface. Desktop boards without enterprise drive support will not recognise it. Buyers needing larger capacities per spindle should consider other models.

Interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 6 Gb/s SAS connection on a 3.5-inch form factor. Your controller or backplane must present a matching SAS port and supply the correct power connector. Without that link the drive cannot communicate with the host. Verify the host side before purchase.
