Product Information

Dell PowerEdge 840, 1900, 1950, 1950 III, 2900, 2900 III, 2950, 2950 III, 2970, 6900, 6950, R300, R900, R905, T300, T605 Servers and PowerVault MD1000, NF100, NF500, NF600 Storage Arrays. Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 600GB 15K 6.0Gbps Serial SCSI / SAS Hard Drive ST3600057SS - Factory Recertified SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) are two types of hard drives that are commonly used in servers and computers. Here are the main differences between SAS and SATA hard drives: Longevity: Enterprise drives are designed for durability and have a longer operational lifespan compared to consumer-grade hard drives, reducing the need for frequent replacements and downtime. With 600GB memory this server hard drive can simplify data management and enable scaling of operations. This larger storage capacity can provide faster access to data than smaller hard drives, improving server performance when dealing with large files or complex applications. Hard Disk Rotational Speed:

Seagate proprietary PowerTrim technology provides up to 21 percent improvement over the last generation in watts/GB at idle. Compatibility: Dell designs these drives to be fully compatible with their PowerEdge server systems, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance. This compatibility can simplify the setup and maintenance of your server infrastructure. Price: SAS drives are typically more expensive than SATA drives due to their higher performance, reliability, and enterprise-grade features.The Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 is the highest performing, highest capacity 3.5-inch mission critical hard drive with best-in-class reliability for Tier 1 storage environments. This industry-leading enterprise drive reduces storage costs per GB while increasing capacity per watt. Drive power consumption is dynamically optimized at all levels of activity with Seagate's exclusive PowerTrim technology. Cut IT drive retirement costs. Enhanced Workload Handling: Enterprise drives are engineered to handle heavy workloads and multiple simultaneous data requests efficiently. This makes them well-suited for applications like databases, virtualization, and data analytics. Compatibility: SAS and SATA drives are not interchangeable, as they use different connectors and protocols. SAS drives use a SAS interface and require a SAS controller, while SATA drives use a SATA interface and can be connected to a SATA controller or motherboard. Some drives may exhibit a greater than expected failure rate. There may be a variety of sense codes observed during these failures, but they typically are as follows:

Reliability: SAS drives are designed for high reliability and have a longer lifespan than SATA drives. SAS drives use enterprise-grade components and have advanced error correction and error recovery capabilities, making them more resistant to data corruption and drive failures. Please note that Enterprise Systems are required to be online 24x7x365 hence SAS-drives are designed to be powered on continuously unlike regular desktop or laptops are typically turned on and off multiple times. If newer firmware is available for your drive, it will reflect the improvements we have engineered for the latest manufacturing. Firmware for legacy products will be the final release from manufacturing. Please note that Seagate does not offer details about specific firmware.If you or your business need an enhanced storage solution for your server motherboards that is proven to be dependable, quality, and functional, the Dell SAS Hard drive W347K is the answer you're looking for. This solid-state hard drive takes your system's storage to the next level by increasing your Dell PowerEdge storage capacities with a 15K rotational speed, making it more than ideal for high-performance mission-critical applications for medium to large businesses. The Dell EqualLogic PS Series features the advanced capabilities of the EqualLogic line with a frameless - IP-based peer storage architecture that enables live - non-disruptive firmware upgrades and maintenance.
