Data Sheet
Trusted. Efficient. Versatile.
Exos 15E900
The Seagate® Exos™15E900 enterprise hard drive is the world's
fastest hard drive, with capacities up to 900 GB in a 2.5-inch form
factor, and is intended for traditional data centres where density,
power consumption and data integrity are paramount.
Performance You Need With the Affordability You Demand
Exos 15E900 hard drives accelerate I/O operations and complete more transactions
faster — even during peak demand. The 900 GB model Exos 15E900 was the first to
store 50% more mission-critical data than any other 15K hard drive.1 By providing
higher capacities at lower cost than high-performance alternatives, Exos 15E900
drives help optimise TCO. They deliver more predictable performance (up to 27%
more sustained data rate than previous generation1) while helping to protect data from
corruption due to unexpected power loss.
Unrivalled Versatility Is Key
The Exos 15E900 supports all drive formats, including 512 native and a single Fast
FormatTM model for advanced formats (4Kn and 512e) that simplifies drive
management. Industry-leading read caching with TurboBoost® technology for
optimum response times is perfect for OLTP applications. The Advanced Write
Caching feature utilises enhanced algorithms for the industry’s highest mission-critical
storage workload performance efficiencies. The Exos 15E900 uses traditional NAND
and advanced algorithms to promote hot data and meet performance requirements
(up to 2.6× improvements over last generation1). By enabling high density with power
efficiency, Exos 15E900 drives are ideal for space- and power-constrained enterprise
data centres. Widely accepted, proven sixth-generation technology provides reliable
access to demanding high-performance applications.
Industry-Leading Data Security Features
Seagate SecureTM models provide hardware-based security to help protect data-atrest. With Instant Secure Erase, drive retirement is safe, fast and cost-efficient.
Seagate Secure models meet the NIST 800-88 media sanitisation specification and
support the Trusted Computer Group (TCG) standard.
