Features and Benefits

Feature / Function Benets

Return on 15K RPM, 2.5-inch SAS High performance for confined spaces

Investment

TCG Enterprise encryption Reduces drive retirement cost

Performance SAS 6Gb/s Fastest interface for performance applications

64 MB cache buffer Improves response time and data management

15,000 RPM Reduces latency for faster access to data

Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) Maintains drive performance in high rotational

vibration environments and multi-drive systems

Workload detector technology Maximizes performance in RAID environments

Reliability Reverse concatenation Improves signal processing

Repeatable Run Out (RRO) fields Reduces risk of data squeeze and write inhibit rate

End-to-end data protection (ANSI) Enhances error detection for optimal data integrity

Head load/unload ramp Minimizes handling damage during integration

Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) Motor Improves acoustics, vibration & reliability

Speed without guilt

Hitachi introduces its first small form factor drive spinning at 15,000 RPM that is ideal for high
performance enterprise applications. This completes the portfolio of performance hard drives
for enterprise-class applications in the mission critical storage tier. Compared to similar 3.5”
drives from Hitachi, sequential performance is 29% higher and 11% higher as compared to its
10K RPM sibling. The 64MB cache buffer is the largest in the industry in its class. In addition,
Advanced Power Management technology is included to optimize power consumption
which lowers datacenter energy usage and cooling costs. This drive uses 50% less power
than similar 3.5” drives in the Hitachi lineup. The Ultrastar™ C15K147 drive is designed on
the same platform as its 10K RPM sibling to reduce qualification time.

2.5-inch SFF | SAS 6Gb/s

Use less space

The C15K147 consumes 70% less space compared to standard 3.5-inch enterprise class
drives for storage efficiency. Yet, this drive delivers the performance and reliability required
in high performance computing and mission-critical environments running 24x7 operations.
The 6Gb/sec SAS interface moves data quickly and reliably with improved availability
and scalability.

Compromise nothing

The Ultrastar C15K147 self-encrypting models conform to the Trusted Computing Group’s
Enterprise A Security Subsystem Class encryption specification. Now, customers can reduce the
costs associated with drive retirement and extend drive life by enabling repurposing of drives.
