Capacity and interface
The Dell Cheetah ST3600057SS is a 600GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It spins at 15000RPM and provides a 16MB buffer for enterprise workloads. The unit includes an R Series caddy for installation in compatible bays.
Suitable workloads
This drive suits servers and storage arrays that require high rotational speed and a SAS connection for dual-port redundancy. It is not for systems that lack a SAS host bus adapter or backplane, nor for users who need larger capacities or solid-state latency. The 3.5-inch form factor also prevents use in 2.5-inch drive bays.
Deciding specification
The 15000RPM spindle speed is the single figure that determines whether this drive meets the performance tier required for transaction-heavy applications. Buyers should verify that their controller supports the 6Gb/s SAS link before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the ST3600057SS is spinning at 15000RPM after installation?
The drive should be detected by the SAS controller at 6Gb/s and SMART data will report 15000RPM rotational speed.
Does the package include the R Series caddy and tray, or must I buy a 3.5" SAS carrier separately?
The listing states it includes the R Series caddy and tray, so no separate carrier is required for a compatible bay.
Which capacity version of the Cheetah 15K.7 should I choose for a 600GB requirement?
This model is the 600GB capacity; select the ST3600057SS to match that exact size.
