Cheetah 15K.5 Best price/performance, lowest cost of ownership disc drive Product Description The new Cheetah 15K.5 enterprise disc drive employs innovative perpendicular recording technology to set new standards for storage costeffectiveness. While doubling available capacity to 300GB, the Cheetah 15K.5 also delivers 36 percent higher sequential performance. This enables enterprises to meet their throughput and capacity requirements with fewer drives, significantly reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). Seagate® designed the Cheetah 15K.5 for maximum reliability in demanding enterprise applications, including a nonrecoverable error rate that's been improved by a factor of 10. Cheetah 15K.5 incorporates such Seagate-exclusive features as IRAW (Idle Read After Write), enhanced ECC (Error Correction Code) and BMS (Background Media Scan) to safeguard data integrity in the most rigorous environments. The Seagate Advantage • Fifth-generation Cheetah 15K is the fastest, highest capacity and most reliable ever; delivers lower TCO for a wide variety of enterprise applications. • Cheetah 15K.5 employs perpendicular recording technology to deliver 300GB capacity with 30 percent faster sequential performance. • Nonrecoverable error rate has been improved by a factor of 10, safeguarding data integrity and reducing risk exposure during RAID rebuilds. Enabling New Opportunities • Cheetah 15K.5 drives employ perpendicular recording to enable systems with an unprecedented blend of storage performance, capacity and reliability. • Cheetah 15K.5 drives offer lasting value, ensuring systems can keep up with growing performance and capacity needs over a longer period of time. • Cheetah 15K drives have the highest fieldproven reliability of any 3.5-inch drives in the world, and boost system reliability even further due to the need for fewer drives. www.seagate.com 1-800-732-4283 (1-800-SEAGATE) Specifications Capacity (GB) 300, 146, 73 Seek Time, Read/Write (average, msec) 3.5/4.0 Transfer Rate, Sustained (Mbytes/sec) Up to 125 Reliability Rating at Full 24x7 Operation (AFR) 0.62% Nonrecoverable Read Errors per Bits Read 1 sector per 1016 Power Consumption SCSI (W, idle) 12.5 (300GB), 9.6 (146GB), 8.1 (73GB) Interface Ultra320 SCSI, 3 Gbit/sec Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), 4 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel Warranty (years) 5 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 © 2006 Seagate Technology LLC.
