Seagate Cheetah 15K.6 Hard Drive launched

In April 2006, Seagate released its Cheetah 15K.5 hard drives. Now, the company has gone on to launch the Cheetah 15K.6 hard drive, which happen to be the newest generation of Seagate’s award-winning enterprise Cheetah family.


The Seagate Cheetah 15K.6 hard drive has been built for the most transaction-intensive enterprise servers and storage systems. In fact, this 3.5-inch form factor hard drive offers the highest performance ever complete with a 28% increase in sustained data transfer rates compared to previous generation drives.


The new Cheetah 15K.6 hard drive is available in capacities of 450GB, 300GB and 147GB.
According to Sherman Black, Seagate senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Compute Business, “With the Cheetah 15K.6 combination of high-performance, capacity and optimized power utilization, it is ideal for demanding transactional and energy-constrained data center environments.”


Besides the above features, Seagate’s Cheetah 15K.6 hard drive includes Seagate PowerTrim technology which dynamically optimizes drive power consumption at all levels of activity. Thus, this hard drive delivers the highest performance in its class without increasing power consumption.


Also, the Cheetah 15K.6 hard drive lowers idle and operational power requirements as much as 61% in watts/GB, while increasing overall sustained data transfer rates by 28% at 164MB/sec.


The Seagate Cheetah 15K.6 hard drive is scheduled to being shipping worldwide in Q1 2008.
