The Cheetah 15K is the best performance lowest cost of ownership 3.5-inch disc drive.

It enables higher performance with fewer drives while offering the industry's highest reliability.

Features:

• ::  15K RPM spindle speed
• ::  Background Media Scan
• ::  Enhanced Error Correction Code
• ::  Fluid Dynamic Bearing Motor
• ::  Full Duty Cycle Reliability
• ::  Serial Attached SCSI (3 Gb/sec)

Benefits:-

• ::  Delivers more I/O's per second than 10K, and faster sustained transfer rates, enabling the same high performance to be met with fewer drives.
• ::  Proactively scans the media for potential defects during drive idle time without using system bandwidth. It enables incipient errors to be corrected before data is lost.
• ::  Better maintains performance throughout the life of the drive and reduces the probability of lost data.
• ::  No ball bearings means reduced acoustics and improved reliability.
• ::  The Cheetah 15K.4 is designed to have the highest reliability, even when in used in demanding applications around the clock, 365 days per year.
• ::  Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enables high-performance 15K SAS drives to interoperate with high-capacity NL35 SATA drives helping simplify and consolidate tiered storage.
