DELL 600GB 15K SAS 3.5" internal hard drive with tray

SKU CH-E7E5-PVJEV

A 600 GB, 15 000 RPM SAS desktop drive with 16 MB cache, hot-swap capability and an included 3.5 inch tray

  • 600 GB capacity stores large datasets and applications
  • 15 000 RPM spindle delivers rapid data access
  • 16 MB cache buffers bursts for smoother throughput
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface connects to enterprise controllers
  • Hot-swap tray enables drive replacement without downtime

Capacity and interface

This is a 600GB 3.5 inch SAS hard drive spinning at 15000RPM with 16MB cache. It is a new desktop internal drive supplied with a tray for hot-swap bays. The SAS interface provides a 6G link for direct connection to a compatible controller or backplane.

Build integration

The drive fits a standard 3.5 inch hot-swap bay and requires a SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller with an available port. It does not connect to onboard SATA ports without an interposer or controller. The included tray secures the drive and enables tool-less removal while the system remains powered.

Who this suits

This drive suits servers or workstations needing high spindle speed for transactional workloads or low-latency scratch space. It is not for systems that only offer SATA ports, for builds requiring larger capacity per spindle, or for environments where acoustic noise from 15000RPM operation is unacceptable.

Highlights

  • 15 000 RPM spindle delivers rapid data access
  • 16 MB cache buffers bursts for smoother throughput
  • SAS 6 Gb/s interface connects to enterprise controllers

Questions about this item

What limits sustained write performance on the 15,000 RPM SAS drive?

The 16 MB cache and 6 Gbps SAS interface set the ceiling for continuous throughput once the 15,000 RPM platters are spinning at full speed.

How much heat and noise does the 3.5 inch 15K drive add to a desktop running all day?

A 15,000 RPM mechanism generates more heat and audible seek noise than slower drives, so plan for active airflow in the 3.5 inch bay.

Which controller or backplane must the system already have to use the SAS interface and hot-swap tray?

The drive requires a SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller with a compatible 3.5 inch hot-swap backplane; a standard SATA-only motherboard port will not work.
