EMC 600GB 10K RPM SAS 6Gb/s Enterprise Hard Drive

Model: ST600MM0006 | EMC PNs: 118033069-04, 9WG066-031 | 600GB Capacity | 10K RPM

The EMC 118033069-04 (Seagate Savvio 10K.6 platform) is a specialized enterprise storage drive engineered specifically for EMC VNX and Data Domain storage arrays. Combining a 600GB capacity with a 10,000 RPM spindle speed, this drive is optimized for high-density storage environments that require consistent performance and high availability. It is designed to operate within the sophisticated RAID structures of EMC controllers, where specialized firmware is required for proper array integration and health monitoring.

• Capacity: 💾 600 GB

• Interface: ⚡ SAS 6Gb/s (Dual Port)

• Spindle Speed: 🏎️ 10,000 RPM

• Cache: 🧠 64 MB

• Form Factor: 📏 2.5-inch SFF

• MTBF: 🛡️ 2.0 Million Hours

• Sector Format: 💾 520-byte (Standard for EMC VNX/Data Domain)

• Recording Technology: 🖋️ CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording)

• EMC Ecosystem Optimization: This drive features proprietary EMC firmware, ensuring it is recognized by VNX, VNXe, and Data Domain controllers. This specialized coding allows for precise drive analytics and prevents "unsupported drive" errors common with generic firmware.

• Tiered Storage Performance: The 10K RPM motor provides the low-latency response times necessary for Tier-2 storage pools, balancing the high speed of SSDs with the higher capacity of 7.2K drives.

• Savvio 10K.6 Efficiency: Built on Seagate’s 6th-generation SFF platform, this drive offers improved seek times and reduced power consumption compared to older 10K models, helping to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO).

• Dual-Port SAS Reliability: Equipped with a dual-port SAS interface, the drive supports the multi-path failover requirements essential for mission-critical SAN and NAS configurations.

• Target Systems: Specifically designed for EMC VNX Series (VNX5100, VNX5300), VNXe series, and Data Domain expansion shelves (e.g., DS15, ES20).

• Ideal Workloads: SAN storage pools, virtualized server environments, mid-tier database hosting, and backup/replication targets.

⚠️ Sector Note: This drive is factory-formatted to 520-byte sectors. While this is required for EMC arrays, it may require reformatting to 512n if you intend to use it in a standard Dell, HP, or IBM server environment.
