Seagate 15K.2 Savvio 15K.2 Product Overview - Page 2

Savvio® 15K.2 Highest-performing, greenest drive for enterprise storage systems Fast and then some The Seagate Savvio 15K.2 drive delivers more transactional performance density than any other drive in the world because it is the highest-performing, greenest drive available for enterprise storage systems. By enabling the use of more than twice the drives per the same rack configuration as 3.5-inch 15K drives, the 2.5-inch Savvio 15K.2 drive delivers more than twice the system performance. This is especially important in high-performance and blade servers demanding optimized RAID performance per U. Building on the Savvio line's industry-leading MTBF of 1.6 million hours, the Savvio 15K.2 drive provides outstanding second-generation reliability. The Savvio 15K.2 drive also offers the advanced SAS 2.0 interface and operates at 6-Gb/s transfer rates. SAS 2.0 provides the next generation of signal and data integrity features, making SAS ideally suited for use in high-end network storage applications. The SAS 2.0 feature set and 6-Gb/s transfer rate support larger topologies by connecting more expanders, host bus adapters and RAID controllers within or across more storage arrays; by communicating over longer distances with high signal integrity; and by moving data two times faster, thereby doubling data throughput. Specifications Capacities (GB) Interface Cache (MB) Spindle Speed (RPM) Power (W, idle) 146 and 73 SAS 2.0 (6 Gb/s) 16 15,000 4.1 (146 GB); 3.7 (73 GB) Lower power requirements = lower costs The Savvio 15K.2 drive with PowerTrim technology uses 70 percent less power than a 3.5-inch 15K drive for the lowest power profile of any highperformance 15K mission-critical, Tier-1 drive. It is 70 percent smaller than comparable 3.5-inch drives, which contributes to its lower power profile. This enables more system airflow, which results in lower cooling costs. The 2.5-inch drive advantages translate into reduced total cost of ownership to IT organizations and administrators who want to optimize their data center power and performance efficiency. Government-grade security available* Delivering on the Seagate commitment to add security features throughout its product portfolio, the Savvio 15K.2 drive is offered with a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) security option that provides government-grade, data-at-rest protection through the hard drive's entire life cycle.* *Requires TCG-compliant host or controller support www.seagate.com 1-800-SEAGATE (1-800-732-4283) AMERICAS ASIA / PACIFIC EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA Seagate Technology LLC 920 Disc Drive, Scotts Valley, California 95066, United States, 831-438-6550 Seagate Technology International Ltd. 7000 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5, Singapore 569877, 65-6485-3888 Seagate Technology SAS 130-136, rue de Silly, 92773 Boulogne-Billancourt Cedex, France, 33 1-4186 10 00 Copyright © 2009 Seagate Technology LLC.
