Cheetah® 15K.7 Highest capacity, performance and reliability in 3.5-inch mission-critical storage Product Description Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 drives reduce costs for 3.5-inch Tier 1 solutions, helping to sustain business. They have the highest performance, capacity and reliability of any 3.5-inch missioncritical drive. The drive has up to 600 GB of capacity, which reduces storage costs per GB and increases capacity per watt. The Cheetah 15K.7 drive includes Seagate PowerTrim technology, which dynamically optimizes drive power consumption at all levels of activity. The drive is leveraged from the highly successful Cheetah 15K.6 platform and has the industry's highest reliability rating, reducing drive replacement costs. The drive is available with a SAS or FC interface and is the highest-performing 3.5-inch drive in the world. The drive reduces RAID rebuild times while minimizing reliability risks. The SAS drives will support 6-Gb/s transfer rates as part of the new SAS 2.0 feature set. SAS 2.0 was developed to provide additional signal and data integrity features to enable SAS to be ideally suited for use in high-end network storage applications. The Cheetah 15K.7 drive is the second generation of Cheetah drives available with a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) option,* providing government-grade data security and instant secure erase for drives reused, recycled or returned for expired lease, repair or warranty. *Requires TCG-compliant host or controller support Specifications Capacity Interface Spindle Speed Reliability Cache Form factor 600, 450, 300 GB 6 Gb/s SAS 2.0, 4 Gb/s FC 15,000 RPM 0.55% AFR/1.6M hours MTBF 16 MB 3.5-inch 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 Singapore International Headquarters Pte.
