Seagate intros Savvio 15K drive
 
The first small form factor 15k enterprise hard drive

NEW DELHI
JANUARY 17, 2007

Seagate Technology introduced the Savvio 15K drive, the new 15K-rpm addition to the Savvio family of 2.5-inch Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise drive solutions.

The Savvio 15K drive, which Seagate termed in a statement as "the world's fastest hard drive," provides better performance and reliability and ensures low power consumption. The drive is suited for a broad range of mainstream enterprise applications in both large enterprise data centers, and small and medium businesses.

According to Sherman Black, Sr VP and GM, Seagate Enterprise Compute Business, "The development of the 2.5-inch Enterprise form factor represented a new way of thinking. Now, with the added number of performance and capacity choices offered, many of the leading enterprise system makers are transitioning from 3.5-inch to 2.5-inch form factor enterprise solutions."

The Savvio 15K drive was recently validated as the world's fastest drive within the latest HP ProLiant family of servers. The drive's features make it the ideal storage solution for all server platforms. Seagate said that Savvio achieves the highest reliability rating ever with a 1.6 million hour Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).

The move to small form factor enterprise disk drives was driven by data center requirements for greater storage performance density while focusing on lowering power consumption and cooling costs.

Seagate pioneered the 2.5-inch platform as the solution to these challenges and formally announced this move in May 2003. The inclusion of the 15K-rpm model to the Savvio family of drives marks it as a mainstream offering.

The 15K-rpm Savvio disc drive offers a number of advantages over 15K-rpm 3.5-inch drives including: size (70 percent smaller), weight (1.12 lbs less), power (30 percent lower), drive seek time (12 percent faster than any other drive) and reliability (1.6 million hour MTBF). These advantages translate into system level benefits never before seen in a 15K-rpm drive.

The Seagate Savvio 10K and 15K families of drives are shipping today. Savvio 10K.2 and 15K drives are currently available through several leading OEM customers. The Savvio 10K.2 drive will launch in the Distribution Channel this quarter as a replacement product for Savvio 10K.1 and as a transition path from Cheetah 10K.7 drives.
