Seventh-generation Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 drive is the fastest, highest capacity and most reliable ever. Lower watts/GB ratio helps achieve reduced power and cooling costs while optimizing capacity requirements. Seagate continues to focus on reliability and data protection. MTBF is an industry-leading 1.6 million hours. Seagate-exclusive enhanced error correction code better maintains performance throughout the life of the drive and reduces the probability of lost data. The third generation of Seagate-exclusive background media scan proactively scans the media for potential defects during drive idle time. It enables incipient errors to be corrected before data is lost. Quick and robust download feature loads firmware in seconds, with built-in protection to ensure no corruption in the event of a power failure during firmware switch.
Key Advantages
• Third-generation perpendicular recording delivers up to 600GB.
• Unprecedented performance with sustained data rate of up to 204MB/s—a 16 percent increase over last generation

Higher Reliability
• Seagate continues to focus on reliability and data protection. MTBF is an industry-leading 1.6 million hours.
• Seagate-exclusive enhanced Error Correction Code better maintains performance throughout the life of the drive and reduces the probability of lost data.
• The third generation of Seagate-exclusive Background Media Scan proactively scans the media for potential defects during drive idle time. It enables incipient errors to be corrected before data is lost.
• Quick and Robust Download feature loads new firmware in seconds, with built-in protection to ensure no corruption in the event of a power failure during firmware switch.
Strong Enough for National Security
The Cheetah 15K.7 drive is available in SED or FIPS SED models; both eliminate the need to overwrite or physically destroy drives, enable secure return of drives for warranty or expired lease purposes, and allow organizations to securely repurpose or sell hard drives. For added physical security and more stringent regulatory compliance needs, the FIPS SED model is FIPS 140-2 Validated™ for use with sensitive but unclassified or protected (A or B) class data. These Seagate Secure™ models help OEMs and system builders gain competitive advantage, differentiate solutions (with strong data security), sell to new customers (that require strong data security), and protect brand equity (and customer confidence).
