Description
More Information
The Hitachi Ultrastar 15K600 is a high-performance, 15,000 RPM SAS hard drive with a storage capacity of 600GB. It is designed for use in enterprise-level storage systems, such as servers, storage arrays, and high-end workstations. This hard drive utilizes SAS 6Gbps interface and has a large cache buffer of 16MB. It also features advanced power management technology, which helps to reduce power consumption and increase energy efficiency. Additionally, the Ultrastar is built to withstand the rigors of mission-critical environments, with a high MTBF (mean time between failures) rating and enhanced error correction capabilities.High-performance
The Hitachi Ultrastar 15K600 is designed for high-performance applications, with a rotational speed of 15,000 RPM and a large cache buffer of 16MB. This allows for fast data transfer rates and quick access to frequently used files.
The hard drive utilizes SAS 6Gbps interface, which provides a faster data transfer rate compared to other interfaces like SAS 3Gbps and SATA. This allows for faster data access, especially in environments where multiple hard drives are connected in a RAID configuration.
The fast rotational speed and large cache buffer also allow for improved random read and write performance, which is important for applications that require quick access to small files and frequently used data. Additionally, the Ultrastar also has a high sustained data transfer rate, allowing for consistent performance even when handling large data transfers.
General Compatibility
The Hitachi Ultrastar 15K600 is compatible with servers, storage arrays, and high-end workstations that support SAS 6Gbps interface. It is also backwards compatible with SAS 3Gbps and SAS 1.5Gbps interfaces, but the data transfer rate will be limited to those interfaces’ capabilities.
It is important to check the compatibility of the Ultrastar with your specific server or storage array model, as some systems may have different drive bay configurations or power requirements.
It is also important to check the operating system compatibility, as some systems may require additional drivers or firmware updates to support SAS 6Gbps interface.
It’s also worth noting that some servers and workstations might have physical space restrictions, therefore it’s important to check the drive’s form factor, which is 3.5 inches, and the dimensions of the drive to ensure that it will fit in the designated drive bay of your system.
To ensure full compatibility, it’s recommended to consult the system or storage array vendor’s documentation, or to contact their technical support for assistance.
