Data Sheet
Cheetah® 15K.7
Highest capacity, performance and reliability
in 3.5-inch mission-critical storage
600, 450 and 300GB • 15K RPM • 6Gb/s Serial
Attached SCSI • 4Gb/s Fibre Channel
Key Advantages
•
Third-generation perpendicular recording delivers up to 600GB.
•
Unprecedented performance with sustained data rate of up to
204MB/s—a 16 percent increase over last generation
•
Industry’s highest 3.5-inch drive reliability at 1.6-million-hours MTBF
•
Seagate PowerTrim™ technology provides a 62 percent improvement in
GBs/ W at idle over typical 3.5-inch hard drives.
•
Read/write advances deliver nonrecoverable error rate of 1x10E16
•
Available in 4Gb/s FC or 6Gb/s SAS interfaces (supports SAS 2.0
feature set)
•
TCG-compliant Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) option cuts IT drive retirement
expenses while securely protecting data 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 U.S., Canada and U.K. federal data encryption
compliance requirements.

FIPS 140 -2 INSIDE
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 optimizing 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 idle time. It enables incipient errors
to be corrected before data is lost.
•
Quick and Robust Download feature loads new firmware
in seconds, with built-in protection to ensure no
corruption in the event of a power failure during 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 organizations to securely
repurpose or sell hard drives. 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 (that
require strong data security), and protect brand equity (and
customer confidence).
