Geekanoids: Seagate launch superfast tiny hard drives

Seagate launch superfast tiny hard drives
Wednesday, January 17, 2007

Seagate, makers of very reliable hard drives, recently upped the ante with the introduction of new 15,000RPM 2.5-inch hard drives. I got all excited when I first heard about this, but have learned that they are not standard SATA hard drives (my MacBook was temporarily smiling), but use a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connection. Maybe we will see adapters and/or updates to the next generation of laptops to incorporate support into new designs.

From Seagate's press release, "Seagate Technology (NYSE:STX) today introduced the world's fastest hard drive - the Savvio 15K drive, the new 15K-rpm addition to the Savvio family of 2.5-inch Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise drive solutions. The Savvio 15K drive provides the highest hard drive performance density and reliability while ensuring ultra-low power consumption, reducing thermal loads in data centers. With its combination of benefits that were created for modern storage systems, the Savvio 15K drive is well-suited for a broad range of mainstream enterprise applications in both large enterprise data centers and small, medium businesses, that lowers overall system Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)."
