Seagate 15K.2 - Savvio 146.8 GB Hard Drive Datasheet

Data Sheet
Savvio 15K.2
®
Highest-performing, greenest drive
for enterprise storage systems
2.5-inch form factor • 15K RPM •
146 GB and 73 GB • 6-Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI
Key Advantages
• 115% improvement in system-level performance over 3.5-inch 15K drives
• Seagate PowerTrim technology dynamically reduces power up to 70%
® ™
over comparable 3.5-inch 15K drives.
• IOPS/W are 2.5 times better than comparable 3.5-inch Tier-1 drives.
• 70% smaller size than 3.5-inch drives reduces overall system cooling costs.
• Second-generation 2.5-inch 15K enterprise drive with field-proven reliability
• Supports 6-Gb/s transfer rates and SAS 2.0 feature set
• 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.*
• Enables economical, high-performance storage system solutions
• Delivers on Seagate Unified Storage architecture strategy to converge best-
of-breed technologies (SAS, small form factor and SED security*) to enable
powerful, yet simple external storage and internal server storage solutions
that strengthen business efficiencies while cutting TCO and boosting ROI.
Best-Fit Applications
• High-performance enterprise servers and storage arrays
• Transaction-intensive OLTP and database applications
• Blade, rack and tower servers
• Embedded enterprise applications (i.e., medical, industrial and military)
• Power-constrained and/or space-constrained data centers
• Government-grade, data-at-rest security (when drives
leave your control)*
• Drive retirement cost reduction and drive life extension
