Seagate SAVVIO 15K User Manual

Data Sheet

Savvio 15K

2.5-inch enterprise hard drive

15K RPM • 73 GB and 36 GB •

3-Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI

Key Advantages

• The Seagate

and enables cooler, faster and much more reliable systems.

• The Savvio 15K drive is the fastest drive available anywhere. In addition,

the Savvio 15K drive’s smaller size enables more drives per system, increasing system performance density and allowing sufﬁcient memory in the system to match faster processors.

• The Savvio 15K drive has the highest reliability in the industry and the best

nonrecoverable error rate to safeguard data.

• The Savvio 15K drive consumes less power than 3.5-inch 15K drives, runs

cooler and enables more airﬂow to cool processors.

• The Savvio 15K drive meets IT performance needs in less space and with

fewer drives than 10K drives, lowering TCO.

Savvio® 15K drive is 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch drives

Best-Fit Applications

• Email/collaboration

• File and print

• Database

• Transaction processing

• Rack and tower servers

• Blade servers

• Storage arrays

• Space-constrained specialty applications

Savvio 15K

2.5-inch enterprise hard drive

The Savvio 15K drive provides faster performance than 3.5-inch 15K drives while consuming 30 percent less power.

Fastest Drive Anywhere

• 10 percent faster than 3.5-inch 15K drives and 35 percent faster

than 2.5-inch 10K drives

• 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch drives, enabling integration of

more drives into smaller, more space-efﬁcient systems to deliver higher performance per U

• Allows room for more memory to further increase system

performance

• Provides the performance needed for virtualization and high-access

applications

Cooler

• 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch drives, enabling more airﬂow to

cool processors

• Requires at least 30 percent less power than 3.5-inch 15K drives,

while performing faster—highest performance per watt of any drive

• Lower power consumption creates less heat, lowering system

temperatures and reducing cooling costs.

More Reliable

• Highest reliability rating of any drive

• Industry’s best nonrecoverable error rate to safeguard data
