5,000RPM enterprise hard drives Hitachi Ultrastar™ 15K300 Resource Guide
Hitachi Ultrastar 15K300 enterprise hard drives 15,000RPM (15K) hard drives are rapidly becoming the drives of choice for mission-critical enterprise computing environments such as Online Transaction Processing (OLTP). The major players in the server manufacturing industry are leading the way, but this shift also represents an excellent opportunity for systems builders aware of the potential gains.
Down to business 15K drives – the opportunity The emergence of 15K hard drives has created a wealth of new market opportunities for systems builders. Until recently, many systems builders have continued to use traditional 10K hard drives within their servers, primarily for financial reasons. However, as the performance benefits of 15K hard drives become increasingly apparent, more and more systems builders are recognising the potential they offer.
Technically speaking Ultrastar 15K300 – the technical benefits The Ultrastar 15K300 has been designed to meet the demands of speed-hungry enterprise environments involving online transaction processing, intensive data analysis and multi-user applications. Applications which require fast, random data access – whether in storage or server applications. The Ultrastar 15K300 delivers 24% better IOPS performance than a standard 10K hard drive.
