Enterprise-Class Reliability: Enterprise drives like the ST3600057SS are built to provide high levels of reliability and data integrity. They are engineered for 24/7 operation in demanding server environments, making them suitable for mission-critical applications. 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:

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. 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. Compatible Servers: This hard drive is compatible with the following servers; PowerEdge 2900, PowerEdge 2970, PowerEdge R200, PowerEdge R210, PowerEdge R300, PowerEdge R310, PowerEdge R320, PowerEdge R410, PowerEdge R415, PowerEdge R420, PowerEdge R510, PowerEdge R515, PowerEdge R520, PowerEdge R710, PowerEdge R720, PowerEdge R720xd, PowerEdge R900, PowerEdge R905, PowerEdge T100, PowerEdge T110, PowerEdge T300, PowerEdge T310, PowerEdge T320, PowerEdge T410, PowerEdge T420, PowerEdge T610, PowerEdge T620, PowerEdge T710, PowerVault Md1000, PowerVault Md3000, PowerVault Md3000i, PowerVault Md3200, PowerVault Md3220i, PowerVault Nx3100 Data transfer speed of 6Gb/s enables faster access to data, resulting in improved system performance and reduced latency. With 6Gb/s data transfer rate, businesses can effectively manage large volumes of data, process complex workloads, and efficiently execute mission-critical applications. On-Board Cache: Spindle Speed: ST3600057SS have high RPM (15,000 rotations per minute) making them suitable for application-intensive servers. In addition, they are highly reliable hard drives.

Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 600GB 15K 6.0Gbps Serial SCSI / SAS Hard Drive ST3600057SS - Factory Recertified 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. Seagate ST3600057SS Dell branded hard drive model number W347K offers storage capacity of 600gb with rotational speed of 15,000 rotations per minute and data transfer rate of 6gb/second hence making it one of the faster hard drive with rapid read and write performance. Additionally, this hard drive is compatible with Dell PowerEdge Servers and ships with hot-swap caddie for effortless installation. Moreover, hard drive has 3.5 inch SAS interface and ships with hot-swap caddie for effortless installation. Dell ST3600057SS Dell Part Number W347K is an ideal hardware for your PowerEdge Server to ensure reliability and performance for a mission-critical enterprise network. 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. 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.

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. 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:The higher performance and capacity of Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 drives reduce storage costs per GB and increase capacity per watt. The drive has the industry's highest reliability rating, reducing drive replacement costs. The Cheetah 15K.7 drive includes Seagate PowerTrim technology, which dynamically optimizes drive power consumption at all levels of activity.
