The Dell 600 GB 15 000 RPM 3.5″ SAS Hard Drive is an enterprise‑class storage drive designed for use in Dell PowerEdge rack and tower servers as well as storage arrays. With 600 GB of capacity, a high‑speed 15,000 RPM spindle, and a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, this HDD delivers low latency, high throughput, and strong I/O performance for demanding workloads such as virtualization, database systems, and transactional applications. These drives fit 3.5″ Large Form Factor (LFF) bays and support hot‑swap maintenance, allowing replacement without powering down the system (when supported by the server backplane).
600 GB Storage — balanced capacity for performance‑oriented enterprise use.
15,000 RPM Rotational Speed — delivers rapid access times and high IOPS compared to lower‑RPM hard drives.
SAS Interface (6 Gb/s or 12 Gb/s depending on variant) — enterprise‑grade interface with robust signalling and throughput.
~600 MB/s Potential Transfer Rate — matches the SAS 6 Gb/s interface performance envelope.
3.5″ Large Form Factor (LFF) — standard server drive size for Dell PowerEdge chassis.
Hot‑Swappable Support — enables drive replacement or upgrades without powering down the server when supported by backplane.
Cache Buffer (~16 MB–64 MB) — helps improve sequential and random performance (varies by specific part).
High Reliability — built for 24×7 operation in enterprise environments.
Designed for Dell PowerEdge servers such as R410, R510, R610, R710, R810, R720, R820, and other models with 3.5″ SAS bays.
Also used in Dell EqualLogic storage arrays (with appropriate firmware/part number).
