| The Cheetah 15K.5 is mainstream enterprise disc drive storage. It is the best price/performance, lowest cost of ownership, 3.5-inch disc drive, with the industry's highest 3.5" disc drive reliability. |
| Features | Benefits |
15K RPM spindle speed | Delivers more I/O's per second and faster sustained transfer rates than 10K 3.5-inch drvies, enabling the same high performance to be met with fewer drives. |
Background Media Scan (BMS) | Second generation Seagate-exclusive BMS proactively scans the media for potential defects during drive idle time. It enables incipient errors to be corrected before data is lost. |
Perpendicular Recording | Perpendicular recording is fundamentally superior, enabling the highest areal density with 30 percent higher performance. |
Nonrecoverable Error Rate | The nonrecoverable error rate has been improved by a factor of 10. |
Idle Read After Write (IRAW) | Seagate-exclusive IRAW enhances data protection by verifying-during drive idle time-that data in the drive buffer was properly written. |
- The industry's highest reliability 3.5" drive
- 30% more IOPS and 20% faster response times than 3.5" 10K drives
