Lowest Cost of Ownership
•Seventh-generation Seagate®Cheetah 15K.7 drive is the
fastest, highest capacity and most reliable ever.
•Cheetah 15K.7 drive performance and reliability enable
lower TCO for enterprise applications.
•Lower watts/GB ratio helps achieve reduced power and
cooling costs while optimizing capacity requirements.
•Higher performance with fewer drives—reducing support
infrastructure, physical space requirements and storage
management costs
•The highest reliability of any 3.5-inch drive, with increased
system reliability due to the need for fewer drives
Highest Reliability
•Seagate continues to focus on reliability and data
protection. MTBF is an industry-leading 1.6 million hours.
•Seagate-exclusive enhanced Error Correction Code
better maintains performance throughout the life of the
drive and reduces the probability of lost data.
•The third generation of Seagate-exclusive Background
Media Scan proactively scans the media for potential
defects during drive idle time. It enables incipient errors
to be corrected before data is lost.
•Our Quick and Robust Download feature loads new
firmware in a matter of seconds with built-in protection to
ensure no corruption in the event of a power failure during
firmware switch.
