Enterprise 900 GB SAS drive

The Seagate Savvio 10K.6 is a 900 GB enterprise hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 64 MB cache. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor and a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The unit is supplied new with zero power-on hours and generic firmware FW 0003. It is built for mission-critical servers and external storage arrays.

SAS 6Gb/s throughput ceiling

The SAS 6Gb/s interface caps sustained transfer rates at the link speed, so sequential performance cannot exceed that bandwidth. Random I/O benefits from the 10000 RPM spindle and 64 MB cache, yet the interface remains the hard limit for bulk data movement. Latency-sensitive workloads gain from the rotational speed, but the bus will saturate before the drive mechanics do.

Replaces slower 2.5 inch SAS HDDs

This drive upgrades older 2.5 inch SAS drives that run at lower spindle speeds or offer less capacity. The jump is worthwhile when an array needs higher IOPS per spindle and 900 GB fits the capacity plan. It does not suit buyers who want more storage per bay or who need the lower latency of solid-state media.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 900 GB Savvio 10K.6 or a different capacity for my enterprise array?

This model is offered at 900 GB with 10000 RPM and 64 MB cache; choose it when you need that exact capacity and performance tier for mission-critical servers or external storage arrays.

What does the 10000 RPM rating deliver once the drive is installed in a server?

The 10000 RPM spindle speed provides high sequential throughput and low latency for transaction-heavy workloads in enterprise environments.

How does the SAS 6 Gb/s interface limit real-world transfer rates?

The SAS 6 Gb/s link caps the maximum bus transfer rate at 6 Gb/s, so sustained drive performance cannot exceed that ceiling.
