❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Why choose 15K RPM SAS disks over standard SATA disks for my server?
15,000 RPM SAS hard drives like these Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 offer performance far superior to traditional 7,200 RPM SATA drives. With an access time of only 3.4 milliseconds and a latency of 2 ms, these professional disks are up to three times faster for input/output operations (IOPS). The SAS 6Gb/s interface also ensures increased reliability, better sustained throughput, and the ability to create high-performance RAID configurations. These disks are specifically designed for server environments running continuously with an MTBF of 1.6 million hours compared to 600,000 hours for standard SATA disks.
Q2: Is this lot of 8 disks ideal for creating a RAID configuration? What configurations do you recommend?
Absolutely, this homogeneous lot of 8 identical disks is perfect for building a high-performance and reliable RAID system. With 8 disks of 300 GB each, you can create several configurations according to your needs: RAID 10 (4+4) for an excellent balance of performance/redundancy offering 1.2 TB usable, RAID 6 for double protection with 1.8 TB usable, RAID 5 for good performance with 2.1 TB usable, or even RAID 0+1 for maximum performance. The 15K RPM SAS disks are particularly suited for RAID configurations for databases and intensive transactional applications. Their identical speed ensures optimal performance in all RAID configurations.
Q3: Are the included Dell trays universal or specific to certain server models?
The Dell trays included in this lot are designed for 3.5-inch hard drives and are compatible with most Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault enclosures equipped with 3.5-inch hot-swap bays. These trays allow for the hot installation and replacement of drives without shutting down the server. However, Dell uses different types of trays depending on the server generations (Gen 11, Gen 12, Gen 13, Gen 14). The provided trays are in good condition and functional. We recommend visually checking compatibility with your specific server or contacting us with your exact model before purchase for confirmation.
Q4: What is the estimated remaining lifespan for these used hard drives?
These professional Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 hard drives are designed for operation in server environments with an exceptional MTBF of 1.6 million hours and an annual failure rate (AFR) of only 0.55%. Each drive in this batch has been rigorously tested and verified for its proper functioning, performance, and SMART attributes. Under normal usage conditions in a well-ventilated server, these drives can continue to operate reliably for several years. Their robust enterprise-class construction ensures superior longevity compared to consumer drives. Nevertheless, as with any used hardware, we always recommend implementing a regular backup strategy and monitoring SMART parameters.
Q5: Can I use these SAS drives in a standard desktop PC, or do they require specific equipment?
These hard drives use the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which requires a specific SAS controller to operate. Unlike SATA drives that connect directly to standard motherboards, SAS drives require either a dedicated SAS/RAID controller card or a server motherboard equipped with SAS ports. These controllers are common in Dell PowerEdge servers but absent from standard desktop PCs. If you want to use these drives in a workstation, you will need to invest in a compatible SAS controller card (available from brands like LSI, Adaptec, Dell PERC). The advantage is that SAS controllers can also manage SATA drives, offering maximum flexibility for your storage configuration.
Q6: What is the performance difference between these 15K SAS drives and modern SSDs?
SSDs do indeed offer superior performance in terms of latency (less than 0.1 ms) and random IOPS compared to these 15K RPM drives. However, 15K SAS hard drives like these Seagate Cheetahs retain several important advantages: a much more economical cost per gigabyte, excellent reliability proven in server environments, a high sequential transfer rate of 204 MB/s perfectly suited for sequential applications, and a predictable lifespan with SMART monitoring. For many enterprise applications such as medium-sized databases, file servers, or secondary storage systems, these 15K RPM drives offer an excellent balance of performance, price, and capacity. They are also ideal as a complement to SSDs in a tiered storage architecture.
Q7: How to check the health and status of these drives after receipt?
Once the drives are installed in your Dell server, you can check their health status in several ways. The Dell RAID controller (PERC) displays basic information about each drive via the BIOS interface or the Dell OpenManage software. For in-depth analysis, use utilities like CrystalDiskInfo on Windows or smartmontools on Linux to check the detailed SMART attributes of the drives, including the number of power-on hours, reallocated sectors, read errors, and operating temperature. These tools will allow you to continuously monitor the health of your SAS hard drives. You can also perform complete surface tests with software like Victoria or HD Tune to check for the absence of bad sectors and measure actual performance.
Q8: Do the 8 drives come from the same server or do they have different usage histories?
This lot of 8 Seagate ST3300657SS hard drives has been carefully assembled to provide a homogeneous set. Each drive has been individually tested to ensure its proper functioning, optimal performance, and absence of critical errors. Whether the drives come from the same server or different origins, we ensure that all meet the same quality and performance standards. This homogeneity is particularly important for RAID configurations where the use of identical drives (same model, same capacity, same speed) is strongly recommended to ensure balanced performance and effective RAID reconstruction in case of a drive failure.
