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 mission-
critical 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.
