Maximum Performance with TurboBoost Technology

Seagate Enterprise Performance 15K HDDskick performance into a higher gear with TurboBoost-enhanced cache models:

• Accelerates I/O operations and optimises response times (up to 20× over base drive models) completing more transactions faster, even during peak demand
• Uses traditional NAND and advanced algorithms to promote hot data and achieve performance improvement (up to 3× over base drive models) in real life workloads
• Delivers more predictable performance while protecting data from corruption due to unexpected power loss

12Gb/s SAS Enterprise HDDs Are Perfect for:

• Building high-performance servers that host warm and hot data in the most demanding application environments
• Reducing latencies for significantly faster, predictable response times
• Creating blade, rack or tower servers to host transaction-based applications
• Delivering solutions for power- and space-constrained data centres
• Upgrading systems for increased data security and easy drive retirement
• Transitioning from legacy 3.5-inch systems to more efficient 2.5-inch solutions
• Improving TCO by minimising system complexity and reducing operating costs

Data Security Options with Seagate Secure Technology

• Enterprise Performance 15K hard drives combine unsurpassed reliability and data protection with industry-leading security features.
• Seagate Instant Secure Erase1 for easy drive retirement eliminates the need to physically destroy hard drives
• Secure data-at-rest helps comply with corporate and federal data security mandates
• FIPS SED options help secure Sensitive but Unclassified and Protected class data2
• When unexpected power loss occurs, protect data from corruption with TurboBoost-enhanced cache models
• Protection Information (PI)3 technology to help protect data integrity

Help Reduce Data Storage System IT Complexity and Costs

• Uses fewer components that can break or cause interoperability issues
• Addresses more workloads with more predictability and less complexity
• Helps reduce design, qualification and support costs
• 2.5-inch SFF helps reduce power consumption up to 70% compared to 3.5-inch drives
• PowerChoiceâ„¢ dynamically maximises energy efficiency – reducing power and helping to reduce cooling costs
• Self-Encrypting Drive1 options help reduce drive retirement costs

IT Pros Rate Seagate Enterprise Drives as Best-In-Class Two Year Running

Seagate was selected by IT professionals as the 2013 & 2014 Market Leader for Enterprise Hard Disk Drives. Get the full report to see the survey data behind the voting for market, performance, reliability, price, service and support and innovation leaders."

The Seagate Enterprise Performance 15K HDD v5 performed well in many of the key testing attributes for a performance HDD. The 15K v5 displayed a propensity for 4k and 8k random write workloads, which suits it well for deployment into transactional workloads. The small mixed random read testing results trailed the other drives slightly, but analysis of our mixed workload testing revealed excellent performance as we mixed in more write activity, and the 15K v5 took the win in the majority of mixed workloads. Our Latency v IOPS tests also revealed excellent latency performance in mixed workloads."
