I can not see how a suffix is missing, since the label is without
marks other than those used to emboss the "RS11" identification.
As for this being a hard disk assembly, please tell me more.
One other item of identification is that the gold top cover has a
pipe sticking out of it, which is curved and of diameter about 1.5",
and to tell you the truth, I thought this paperweight was some kind
of blower or air conditioning unit. Still, the weight of the unit lends
credence to the notion of it being some kind of DASD (to use IBM
parlance).

This is where the Option/Module guide comes in handy.
RS11 - probably a suffix missing (either B,C, or D and an optional
A)
This is a HDA (hard disk assembly) for an RF11 drive
which could have two
such
drives installed.
A complete RF11 consists of
RF11 + RSO8-M + RS09-M (yours is the RS09-M)
