more drives into smaller, more space-efficient systems to deliver
higher performance per U
 Allows room for more memory to further increase system
performance
 Provides the performance needed for virtualization and high-access
applications
Cooler
 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch drives, enabling more airflow to
cool processors
 Requires at least 30 percent less power than 3.5-inch 15K drives,
while performing faster—highest performance per watt of any drive
 Lower power consumption creates less heat, lowering system
temperatures and reducing cooling costs.
More Reliable
 Highest reliability rating of any drive
 Industry’s best nonrecoverable error rate to safeguard data
