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.

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 high-
performance 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.*
