Enterprise Performance
15K HDD
Featuring Enhanced Caching With Seagate
®
TurboBoost
™
Technology
• Accelerates I/O operations and optimizes response times (up to 20× over base
drive) completing more transactions faster, even during peak demand
• Uses traditional NAND and advanced algorithms to promote hot data and achieve
performance improvement (up to 3× over base drive) in real-life workloads
• Delivers more predictable performance while protecting data from corruption due
to unexpected power loss
Highest-Performing, Up to 600GB, 12Gb/s SAS, Small Form Factor
15K Hard Drive
• Stores twice the amount of Tier 1 data over previous generation
• Enables faster transaction processing, which can result in improved customer
satisfaction
• Latest 12Gb/s SAS interface for improved scalability
• Industry’s highest MTBF at 2M hours
• Support for all drive formats, including 512 Native, 512 Emulation and 4K Native
• Provides 23% to 30% improvement in SDR performance over previous generation
1
• SAS-based Protection Information (PI) helps protect against inadvertent
data change.
2
• Seagate Secure
™
drive options (AES-256) help cut IT drive retirement costs while
helping securely protect data where it lives—on the drive.
3
• Seagate Secure FIPS drive option

Best-Fit Applications
• High-performance Tier 1 enterprise servers
• Blade, rack and tower servers hosting transaction-based applications
• Power- and space-constrained data centers
• Compliance and data security initiatives
1 Actual improvement varies depending on queue depth, transfer size and format.
2 Protection Information (PI) feature requires PI-compliant host or controller support.
3 Not all drives may be available in all countries. Seagate Secure drives meet ISO/IEC 27040 and NIST 800-88 standards. May require
TCG-compliant host or controller support.
