The Seagate Cheetah 600 GB 8,9 cm ( 3,5 inch ) SAS hard drive (ST3600057SS) is a high-performance HDD from the Cheetah 15K.7 product line, specifically designed for use in servers and high-performance workstations. With a rotational speed of 15,000 RPM and a storage capacity of 600 GB, it offers an optimal combination of speed and capacity for demanding enterprise environments. The SAS interface with 6 Gb/s ensures fast, reliable data transfer, while the 16 MB cache further enhances performance during frequent accesses. Thanks to Seagate's PowerTrim technology, power consumption is efficiently optimized, resulting in improved energy efficiency of up to 21% compared to the previous generation. The hard drive features industry-leading reliability, with an MTBF of 1.6 million hours and an annual failure rate (AFR) of only 0.55 percent. Third-generation vertical recording enables maximum storage density, while the non-recoverable error rate of 1x10E16 ensures the highest data integrity. The drive is designed for operating temperatures of 5 to 55 °C and offers high mechanical stability with vibration tolerances of 1 G during operation and 3 G during non-operation, as well as shock resistance of 60 G during operation and 300 G during non-operation.
