The Cheetah 15K.5 hard drive enables manageable tiered storage solutions without compromising performance or reliability. Cheetah 15K.5 drives deliver cost-effective solutions, allowing systems to keep up with increasing performance needs over a longer period of time. 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 time to- 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.
