Engineered to Move Critical Data Fast, the New
6th Generation High-Speed Enterprise Performance HDD Delivers
Reliable, Secure Storage
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, today launched the industry’s fastest and
highest-performing hard drive—the Seagate® Enterprise Performance
15K HDD v6. Featuring capacities up to 900GB, the drive optimizes
mission critical workloads by delivering the industry’s highest
data performance (up to 315MB/s sustained transfer rate), enabling
enterprise and cloud customers to move critical data where it’s
needed fast to ensure smooth and seamless connected experiences for
business, organization and consumer users—all while lowering total
cost of ownership through high reliability, security and easy data
center integration.
“Seagate is once again driving innovation to meet the needs of
today’s data-driven economy,” said John Morris, vice president of
global HDD products at Seagate. “Our new Enterprise Performance 15K
HDD ensures that the data is secure, available on demand and always
bringing more value to our customers. With Seagate’s broad
portfolio of both HDDs and SSDs, we’re able to cover the full range
of storage solutions, delivering high performance and capacity with
affordable versatility to meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s
data centers.”
“Performance demands on enterprise datacenters today are
increasing as customers consider agile storage solutions to handle
diverse workloads. The key to success is to apply the right
technologies to the right workloads, and we are seeing increased
adoption of hybrid arrays of HDDs and SSDs enhanced by
software-based caching,” said Brian Payne, executive director,
server solutions, Dell EMC. “By delivering higher performance and
capacity, Seagate’s latest Enterprise Performance 15K HDD will be a
sound investment for dynamic server-storage environments.”
The demand for 15K HDD technology in servers continues to meet
the needs of data center managers aiming to manage costs while
addressing mission critical workloads, performance bottlenecks and
network complexity. The Enterprise Performance 15K HDD addresses
the demand for higher capacities with a combination of performance
innovations in enhanced read and write caching techniques for
maximizing data acquisition. The drive is also outfitted with
enterprise‐class reliability for consistent mission critical
performance in a 24x7 multi‐drive environment.
The Enterprise Performance 15K HDD is a high-capacity, 2.5-inch
small form factor drive designed for data center efficiency
requiring minimum operating power in a dense server environment.
Utilizing Seagate’s FastFormat™ feature, it is available in both a
512 native and a single advanced format (512e and 4Kn) model that
supports current and future systems. The drive provides the ability
to address more workloads with less complexity. It also provides
robust drive-level data security and data integrity while the drive
is at rest, recording or retired, as well as proven quality and
field reliability, protecting from data loss and unneeded
expense.
Supported by demonstrated technologies and Seagate’s proven
reliability and quality commitment, the new Enterprise Performance
15K HDD family delivers enterprise-class specifications such as 2
million hours MTBF (mean time between failures) and a low
annualized failure rate of 0.44 percent. It will be available
worldwide this quarter.
