Seagate has introduced two new types of hard drives for professionals, Cheetah NS.2 and Cheetah 15K.7 . These are discs with capacities up to (600GB), SAS interfaces (6Gbps) and fiber (4Gbps) rotating at quarter past ten thousand revolutions per minute respectively.
In environments where performance is persistant, new Cheetah ranges have much to say. The new Seagate drives offer capacities up to 600 GB as well as offering advantage of being only 3.5-inch in size. Cheetah 15K.7 have the second-generation technology that optimizes “Power Trim” consumption by dynamically loading levels of the unit. The Cheetah NS.2 unit offers more than 20% energy savings compared to its predecessor.
