4HGTJ Dell 600GB 15K SAS 2.5in, Seagate ST600MP0005

Dell's MD34XX/38XX support matrix lists 4HGTJ as the Seagate ST600MP0005: 600 GB, 15K rpm, 2.5-inch.

Dell gives the drive firmware as VT33 in the MD34XX/38XX matrix and VT33 in the MD32XX/36XX matrix, and marks it as non-SED.

That matrix covers the MD3420, MD3820i and MD3820f, which hold 24 drives of 2.5 inches.

With MD1200 or MD1220 expansion enclosures attached, the 2U models reach 120 slots, or 192 with the optional premium feature key.

The older MD32XX/36XX generation lists it too: 6 Gbps SAS MD3200 and MD3220, 1 Gbps iSCSI MD3200i and MD3220i, 10 Gbps iSCSI MD3600i and MD3620i, and 8 Gbps FC MD3600f and MD3620f.

Dell notes that a 15K drive delivers faster seeks and more IOPS than 10K or 7.2K drives, and that SAS gives each drive a full-bandwidth point-to-point link.

Only drives with a Dell part number listed in the matrix are supported, so the label part number matters as much as the drive model.

Fit check: confirm the array model and that ST600MP0005 is in its drive table before ordering. Similar Dell drives include the NWH7V 300 GB and 61XPF 146 GB. Companion Dell parts sit on the Dell PowerEdge parts hub.
