Marketing Bulletin 7200-RPM Drive Specification Comparison Selecting the right hard drive is best done when the decision is based on application usage, technology requirements and drive design considerations. The specification information here works in conjunction with the Drive Selection Guide (MB538) to help you get a clear understanding of why a particular hard drive works most effectively in the customer's environment. Additionally, our customers and partners need to understand that there is more to a hard drive than just the initial acquisition cost. That's only the starting point of the total ownership cost model. Choosing the right hard drive means that you are purchasing a product that is optimized, tested, serviced and supported for your specific usage environment. Consideration must be made for ongoing operational and maintenance costs that include power usage and overall drive reliability that impacts service costs like return processing, diagnostics, customer downtime, goodwill, etc. The bottom line: Seagate is in the unique position of having the breadth, experience and infrastructure derived from industryleading partnerships in all business segments. If the application is digital video surveillance, recommending Seagate SV35 Series™ drives offer an optimized solution providing high-capacity, low-power optimization for both indoor and outdoor 24x7 digital video and metadata usage. If a customer is looking for a desktop drive, the Seagate Barracuda® products will exceed their expectations. This family of drives is unlike any other in the market today; they have the highest benchmark performance scores and the lowest power consumption. They are optimized for PC and personal storage environments. If customers are looking for enterpriseoptimized solutions, considering total cost of ownership, enterprise-class service and support, and Tier 2/nearline features, the answer is found in the Seagate Constellation® and Seagate Barracuda ES product families. For more information, see the Drive Selection Guide on our partner website to make sure your customers are purchasing the best drives for their unique environments.
