Product Description
Seagate Cheetah NS.2 drives reduce costs
for 3.5-inch Tier 1 solutions, helping to sustain
business. It has up to 600 GB of capacity, which
is the highest capacity of any Tier 1 mission-
critical drive. This higher capacity reduces storage
costs per GB and increases capacity per watt.
The drive also includes Seagate PowerTrim
technology, which dynamically optimizes drive
power consumption at all levels of activity. The
Cheetah NS.2 drive has over 20 percent lower
power consumption than any 3.5-inch Tier 1
mission-critical drive.
The Cheetah NS.2 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 (600 GB and 450 GB) or FC
interface. 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.
