Major OEMs Design in New Cheetah 15K.6 Hard Drive

By ChannelTimes Staff
International Desk, Mar 11, 2008

Seagate Technology announced it will begin shipping its new Cheetah 15K.6 hard drive this month.


Designed for the enterprise storage environments, the Cheetah 15K.6 drive is Seagate's highest-performance hard drive ever in a 3.5-inch form factor, with a 28 per cent increase in sustained data transfer rates compared to previous generations, the company said.

The drive includes Seagate PowerTrim technology which optimizes drive power consumption at all levels of activity. It consumes up to 61 per cent less watts/GB at idle over its prior generation, according to the company.

Major OEM system builders, including HP, are working to design in the new Cheetah series hard drive, equipped with its Fibre Channel interface for HP's SAN storage systems.

"HP's Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA), incorporating Seagate's latest Cheetah 15K.6 drive will fulfil the needs of our most demanding customers running mission-critical business applications," said Kyle Fitze, director of Storage Works SAN Marketing, at HP. "The improvements in performance, reliability, power savings, and capacity will collectively help enable our own EVA systems to deliver greater overall value to our customers."

The Cheetah 15K.6 drive also ships in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), which has become the mainstream enterprise interface of choice for companies including Super Micro Computer. Charles Liang, CEO and president of Supermicro, said, "Integrating Seagate's Cheetah 15K.6 drive into our 85 per cent+ high-efficiency, earth-friendly SuperServers and Server Building Block Solutions delivers not only superior performance, but also power savings, scalability and significantly reduced TCO."

Using second-generation perpendicular recording technology, the new drive is available in capacities of 450 GB, 300 GB, and 147 GB. The Cheetah 15K.6 drive is ideal for 3.5-inch SAN, NAS, and other transactional processing and internet applications. It comes with a 5-year warranty.
