Seagate Stacks On Enterprise Storage
April 18th, 2006: Seagate has announced that it is shipping the industry’s first 3.5” hard drive with perpendicular recording technology.
Named the Cheetah 15k.5 and aimed at enterprise applications, Seagate says that the drive doubles the capacity of its predecessor while delivering 30% more performance.
The Cheetah has 300Gb spread over four platters and claims data transfer rates of 73-125 Mb/s, the first drive to break the 100Mb/s barrier.
Seagate says that the Cheetah 15k.5 will be shipping with 3 Gb/s serial attached SCSI (SAS), Ultra320 SCSI, and 4 Gb/s fibre channel interfaces in June this year.
Pricing is yet to be announced.
