Seagate 73.4GB HDD ST373454LW Folheto

The new Cheetah 15K.4 enterprise disc drive offers an
unprecedented blend of high performance and cost 
effectiveness. Seagate has dramatically improved Cheetah
speed by delivering seek times as fast as 3.3 msec, latencies
as low as 2 msec and an increase in data rates of up to 30
percent over the previous generation. This enables the
Cheetah 15K.4 to meet throughput requirements under
highly demanding conditions with fewer drives, significantly
lowering TCO. And the Cheetah 15K.4 achieves these 
performance gains while maintaining the same power,
shock and acoustic characteristics of its 15K.3 predecessor.

• The Cheetah 15K.4 is the lowest cost-per-performance

disc drive from Seagate, benefiting from the team
experience acquired over four generations of Cheetah
15K-RPM products.

• The Cheetah 15K.4 delivers 30 percent more IOPS and

20 percent faster response times than 3.5-inch 10K
drives.

• Cheetah 15K.4 enables higher performance with fewer

drives, and fewer drives mean lower total cost 
of ownership.

Environments where reliability and I/O performance are
paramount, including:

• E-mail

• Online transaction processing (OLTP)

• Enterprise, Internet and e-commerce servers

• Database server applications, data warehousing 

and mining

• Storage area networks (SAN) and supercomputers

• Multi-user multimedia, digital A/V and image processing

• Graphics and medical imaging, scientific workstations

• Cheetah 15K.4 drives are leading storage solutions into

greater performance/value parity with today’s dynamic,
on-demand enterprise systems.

• Cheetah 15K.4 drives offer lasting value, enabling sys-

tems to keep up with growing performance needs over
a longer period of time.

• Storage Performance Council (SPC) testing, which

includes e-mails in its workloads, verifies the cost effi-
ciency of Cheetah 15K drives. SPC test results rank
servers equipped with Cheetah 15K drives above the
majority of all servers tested. (All top SPC price/per-
formance servers used 15K drives.)
