Silver 3.5 inch SAS hard drive with green circuit board

Seagate

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

SKU CH-2AF7-2D4TD

A 600 GB SAS hard drive spinning at 15000 RPM with 16 MB cache in a 3.5 inch form factor

  • 15000 RPM spindle speed delivers fast data access
  • SAS interface supports 6 Gb/s transfer rates
  • 600 GB capacity provides enterprise-grade storage
  • 16 MB cache buffers intensive workloads
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard server bays

600 GB 15 000 RPM SAS Hard Drive

The Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 is a 3.5-inch enterprise hard drive with a 600 GB capacity and a 15 000 RPM spindle speed. It connects via a SAS interface and includes a 16 MB cache. This drive is built for servers and storage arrays that demand high transaction rates.

Suits high-IOPS enterprise workloads

Database servers, transactional applications and high-performance computing clusters benefit from the fast rotational speed and SAS connectivity. It is not for desktop PCs or laptops that lack a SAS host bus adapter. Buyers who need larger capacities or solid-state latency should look at other storage classes.

15 000 RPM spindle speed

The 15 000 RPM rotation rate is the primary factor that determines whether this drive meets the required random-access performance. Verify that the target system supports 3.5-inch SAS drives and can provide adequate cooling for the higher thermal output.

Questions about this item

How do I install the ST3600057SS into a 3.5" SAS bay and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a 3.5" bay, connect the SAS data and power cables, then ensure the host controller detects the 6 Gb/s link before initializing the volume.

What maintenance or replacement will the Cheetah 15K.7 need after extended operation?

The mechanical 15000 RPM spindle and actuator are the wear items; plan replacement when SMART reallocated-sector counts rise or seek errors appear.

What limit appears first when the ST3600057SS runs sustained workloads?

The 15000 RPM rotational latency and 16 MB cache size bound random I/O throughput before the 6 Gb/s SAS interface saturates.
