Seagate 36GB 3.5" SCSI ST336807LW Prospecto

The Seagate Cheetah 10K.7 is the new benchmark for
high capacity enterprise-class drives, providing up to 300
Gbytes in a low-profile, 3.5-inch form factor. The seventh
generation of the award-winning Cheetah line of 10K-
RPM drives, the Cheetah 10K.7 offers even greater cost-
per-gigabyte value in lower access applications than its
predecessor. The Cheetah 10K.7 delivers very high
capacity and superior reliability to the general purpose
and high-end enterprise markets, which both prize relia-
bility above all else. The Cheetah 10K.7 drive meets this
challenge by leveraging many reliability features from the
Cheetah 15K drive, including fluid dynamic bearings,
enhanced data integrity/error recovery procedures and
the improved background media scan feature. Despite
these many improvements, the Cheetah 10K.7 maintains
the same power, shock and acoustic characteristics of its
10K.6 predecessor.

• The Cheetah 10K.7 sets the standard for Seagate cost-

per-gigabyte value enterprise drives, benefiting from
the team experience acquired over seven generations
of Cheetah 10K-RPM products.

• Double the capacity in the same footprint means 

less space occupied, lower infrastructure costs and 
lower TCO.

• The Seagate commitment to continually enhancing 

reliability is reflected in the Cheetah 10K.7, which 
highly leverages reliability features from Cheetah 15K
products to increase MTBF to 1.4 million hours.

• High-end enterprise workstations 

• Data warehousing and data mining

• Multi-user multimedia

• Storage area networks and supercomputers

• Digital A/V and image processing

• Graphics and medical imaging

• Internet and e-commerce servers

• The primary opportunity for Cheetah 10K.7 exists in

current 10K.6 markets, where reliability is ranked 
highest in order of importance, followed by price per
gigabyte, price per IOPS and data throughput rate.

• As storage capacity continues to double, 10K-RPM 

3.5-inch drives will be used for applications that have
lower access density requirements. Mainstream 

applications will employ either 15K-RPM drives, which

offer greater performance to access increased capacity
on a single drive, or Savvio

™

, which provides optimal

performance in high-density storage environments.

• The Cheetah 10K.7 provides an enhanced feature set,

including the highest reliability in the industry, making it
ideal for applications such as large-capacity storage
infrastructures that house mission-critical data.
