seagate CHEETAH 15K.3 DATASHEET
Cheetah 15K.3
35 Percent More I/Os per Second (IOPS) Than 10K Drives
73, 36 and 18 Gbytes • 15K RPM • Ultra320 SCSI, 2 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel
Key Advantages
• Economies of speed: Fewer drives are needed to deliver the same level of IOPS
as 10K-RPM drives, leading to greater overall system reliability and savings on
hardware, space, power, cooling, and IT administration costs, making this the
lowest cost-per-I/O hard drive.
• Highest reliability rating in the industry: Backed by two previous generations
of proven field reliability
• 35 percent more I/Os per second than 10K drives
• 29 percent faster minimum sustained transfer rate than 10K drives
Best-Fit Applications
• Broad range of mainstream Enterprise applications
•Workstations, mid-range and Enterprise servers
• NAS and SAN environments
