In fact the 15K.7 is just short of SSD performance with the reliability that only 53 years of development can give you.” - Lanoc Reviews, October 2009 “For users looking for the most advanced technology to create new premium systems, or those who are looking to extend the life of their existing systems, the Cheetah® 15K.7 delivers the low TCO and promise of easy integration for businesses of all sizes...” - Joe Cousins, vice president of marketing, Bell Microproducts Seagate® Enterprise Family Hard Drives Seagate® Constellation™ Enterprise-class 2.5-inch 7200 RPM nearline drive click here Seagate® Constellation™ ES Enterprise-class 3.5-inch 7200 RPM drive click here Seagate® Savvio® 10K Enterprise-class 2.5-inch 10,000- RPM drive click here Seagate® Savvio® 15k Enterprise-class 2.5-inch 15,000- RPM drive click here Seagate® Cheetah® 15k Enterprise-class 3.5-inch 15,000- RPM drive Cheetah 15K Drive Specifications Specifications 600 GB1 450 GB1 450 GB1 300 GB1 300 GB1 146 GB1 Model Number ST3600057SS ST3600957SS2 ST3600057FC ST3450857SS ST3450757SS2 ST3450857FC ST3450856SS/FC ST3300657SS ST3300557SS2 ST3300657FC ST3300656SS/FC ST3146356SS/FC Capacity Formatted 512 Bytes/Sector (GB) 600 450 450 300 300 146.3 External Transfer Rate (MB/s) 4Gb/s Fibre Channel 400 400 400 400 400 400 3Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI - - 300 - 300 300 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI 600 600 - 600 - - Performance Spindle Speed (RPM) 15K 15K 15K 15K 15K 15K Average Latency (ms) 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 Seek Time Average Read/Write (ms) 3.4/3.9 3.4/3.9 3.4/3.9 3.4/3.9 3.4/3.9 3.4/3.9 Track-to-Track Read/Write (ms) 0.2/0.4 0.2/0.4 0.2/0.4 0.2/0.4 0.2/0.4 0.2/0.4 Internal Transfer Rate, Outer to Inner Diameter(MB/s) 1450 to 2370 1450 to 2370 1051 to 2225 1450 to 2370 1051 to 2225 1051 to 2225 Sustained Transfer Rate, Outer to Inner Diameter(MB/s) 122 to 204 122 to 204 171 to 110 122 to 204 171 to 110 171 to 110 Cache, Multisegmented (MB) 16 16 16 16 16 16 Configuration/Reliability Disks 4 3 4 2 3 2 Heads 8 6 8 4 6 3 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) 0.55% 0.55% 0.55% 0.55% 0.55% 0.55% Nonrecoverable Read Errors per Bits Read 1 per 10E16 1 per 10E16 1 per 10E16 1 per 10E16 1 per 10E16 1 per 10E16 Power Management Typical(W) Fibre Channel 16.321 15.17 17.0 13.8 16.1 15.0 SAS 16.35 14.6 17.3 12.92 15.8 14.4 Idle(W) Fibre Channel 11.61 10.26 12.0 8.98 11.2 9.7 SAS 11.68 10.1 12.4 8.74 11.1 9.6 Environmental Temperature (°C) Operating 5 to 55 5 to 55 5 to 55 5 to 55 5 to 55 5 to 55 Nonoperating -40 to 70 -40 to 70 -40 to 70 -40 to 70 -40 to 70 -40 to 70 Vibration Operating, <400 Hz (Gs) 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 Nonoperating, <400 Hz (Gs) 3.0 3.0 2.0 3.0 2.0 2.0 Shock (Gs) Operating: 2ms (Gs) 60 60 60 60 60 60 Nonoperating: 2ms (Gs) 300 300 250 300 250 250 Acoustics Idle (bels - sound power) 3.6 3.6 3.6 3.6 3.6 3.6 Physical Height (in/mm) 1.0/25.4 1.0/25.4 1.0/25.4 1.0/25.4 1.0/25.4 1.0/25.4 Width (in/mm) 4.0/101.6 4.0/101.6 4.0/101.6 4.0/101.6 4.0/101.6 4.0/101.6 Depth (in/mm) 5.76/146.52 5.76/146.52 5.75/146.05 5.76/146.52 5.75/146.05 5.75/146.05 Weight (lb/kg) 1.51/0.686 1.49/0.676 1.56/0.709 1.48/0.671 1.53/0.694 1.49/0.674 Limited Warranty (years) 5 5 5 5 5 5 1 One gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes and one terabyte, or TB, equals one trillion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity. 2 Self-Encrypting Drive model; requires TCG-compliant host or controller support.

Review: That it works! - Replaced two drives that were supposedly new from another vendor. Both those drives failed. These work perfectly.
Review: Expecting Performance and Longevity Exactly Like Original Server Hard Drive - I bought this drive because I needed one that was identical to a drive that failed in a Dell PowerEdge server with a 3-drive RAID. As expected, it performs just like the original one did. However, at this point in time, 600GB is small for a server hard drive, and since the failed drive was the exact same model as this one, I won't know for some time if these drives only last about 4 years or if the failure of the original drive was a fluke.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ That it works!
*by M***M on November 13, 2024*

Replaced two drives that were supposedly new from another vendor. Both those drives failed. These work perfectly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expecting Performance and Longevity Exactly Like Original Server Hard Drive
*by M***. on September 16, 2015*

I bought this drive because I needed one that was identical to a drive that failed in a Dell PowerEdge server with a 3-drive RAID. As expected, it performs just like the original one did. However, at this point in time, 600GB is small for a server hard drive, and since the failed drive was the exact same model as this one, I won't know for some time if these drives only last about 4 years or if the failure of the original drive was a fluke.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New disk, which works straight away.
*by K***N on March 28, 2024*

Was used in an older Dell server with raid. Since this disk does not have software from dell, it lights up yellow in the raid, but works without problems. Original disks through dell cost 3-4 times as much. Maybe it can turn green by updating the disk controller.
