Title: Seagate to launch 2.5" 15,000 Rpm hard drive
Description: Seagate Savvio 15KToday, Seagate, who released in February 2004 the first 2.5" 10,000 Rpm hard drive, announced the Savvio 15K. As it is written in the title, the spin rate increases to 15,000 Rpm and Seagate announced that this Serial Attached SCSI was the world fastest hard drive. The drive access time is 2.9ms. This has to be compared to 3.8ms for the Savvio 10K.2 and 3.5ms for the Cheetah 15K.5 which is a 3"1/2. With 16 MB of cache, it requires 5.8 watts in use instead of 5.2 for the 10K.2 and 8.4 watts for the 15K.5.

With a storage capacity of 36 and 73 GB, the Savvio 15K do not permit an equivalent density to the Savvio 10K.2 which is available in 73 and 146 GB versions. Knowing that it is 70% less big than the 3"1/2 equivalent, it will be particularly well fitted for 1 or 2U servers requiring an important amount of high-performance hard drives. On the reliability side, Seagate announced a failure rate of 0.55% for a 24/7 use. The MTBF is contently of 1.6 million hour. This is equivalent to the Savvio 10K.2 and a little lower than the 15K.5 which is at 0.62%.
