Data Sheet
Cheetah® 15K.7
Highest capacity, performance and reliability
in 3.5-inch mission-critical storage
600, 450 and 300 GB • 15K RPM • 6 Gb/s Serial
Attached SCSI • 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel
Key Advantages
•
Third-generation perpendicular recording delivers up to 600 GB
•
Unprecedented performance with a sustained data rate of up to 204 MB/s
— a 16 per cent increase over the previous generation
•
Industry’s highest 3.5-inch drive reliability at 1.6 million hours MTBF
•
Seagate PowerTrim™ technology provides a 62 per cent improvement
in GBs/watt when idling over typical 3.5-inch hard drives
•
Read/write advances deliver a non-recoverable error rate of 1x1016
•
Available in 4 Gb/s FC or 6 Gb/s SAS interfaces (supports SAS 2.0
feature set)
•
TCG-compliant Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) option cuts IT drive retirement
expenses while protecting data securely and is one of the easiest, most
cost-effective security measures you can implement
•
FIPS Self-Encrypting Drive option provides all the benefits of SED and
is NIST certified to meet US, Canada and UK government data encryption
compliance requirements

Cheetah® 15K.7
Highest capacity, performance and reliability
in 3.5-inch mission-critical storage
Lowest Cost of Ownership
•
Seventh-generation Seagate® Cheetah 15K.7 drive is the
fastest, highest capacity and most reliable ever
•
Lower watts/GB ratio helps achieve reduced power and
cooling costs while optimising capacity requirements
•
Higher performance with fewer drives — reducing support
infrastructure, physical space requirements and storage
management costs
•
The highest reliability of any 3.5-inch drive, with increased
system reliability due to the need for fewer drives
Highest Reliability
•
Seagate continues to focus on reliability and data
protection; MTBF is an industry-leading 1.6 million hours
•
Seagate-exclusive enhanced Error Correction Code
better maintains performance throughout the life of the
drive and reduces the probability of lost data
•
The third generation of Seagate-exclusive Background
Media Scan proactively scans the media for potential
defects during drive idling time, thus enabling incipient
errors to be corrected before data is lost
•
Our Quick and Robust Download feature loads new
firmware in a matter of seconds, with built-in protection
to ensure no corruption in the event of a power failure
during a firmware switch
Strong Enough for National Security
1
The Cheetah 15K.7 drive is available in SED or FIPS SED
models; both eliminate the need to overwrite or physically
destroy drives, enable secure return of drives for warranty
or expired lease purposes, and allow organisations to
repurpose or sell hard drives securely. For added physical
security and more stringent regulatory compliance needs,
the FIPS SED model is FIPS 140-2 Validated
™
for use with
sensitive but unclassified or protected (A or B) class data.
These Seagate Secure
™
models help OEMs and system
builders gain competitive advantage, differentiate solutions
(with strong data security), sell to new customers (who
require strong data security) and protect brand equity (and
customer confidence).
