• Email
• Business processing
• Transaction processing
• Decision support
• Storage area networks (SAN)
• Networked attached storage (NAS)
• Internet and e-commerce

Lowest Cost of Ownership

• Fifth-generation Cheetah 15K drive is the fastest, highest capacity and most reliable ever.
• Cheetah 15K.5 drive performance and reliability enable lower TCO for enterprise applications.
• 15K RPM and fast seek times deliver the fastest timeto-data, resulting in 30 percent more IOPS and over 20 percent faster response times than 3.5-inch 10K drives.
• Higher performance with fewer drives reducing support infrastructure, physical space requirements and storage management costs
• The highest reliability of any 3.5-inch drive, and increased system reliability due to the need for fewer drives

Highest Reliability

• Seagate continues to focus on reliability and data protection. New features in this generation have improved the nonrecoverable error rate by a factor of 10.
• Seagate-exclusive IRAW (Idle Read After Write) enhances data protection by verifying during drive idle time that data in the drive buffer was properly written.
• Seagate-exclusive enhanced Error Correction Code better maintains performance throughout the life of the drive and reduces the probability of lost data.
• The second generation of Seagate-exclusive Background Media Scan (BMS) proactively scans the media for potential defects during drive idle time. It enables incipient errors to be corrected before data is lost.
• The Cheetah 15K.5 drive is designed and manufactured by the same teams that successfully delivered the past four award-winning generations.
