The Cheetah 15K.4 enterprise disc drive offers an unprecedented blend of high performance & cost effectiveness. Seagate has dramatically enhanced Cheetah speed by delivering seek times as fast as 3.3 msec, latencies as low as 2 msec & an increase in data rates of up to 30 percent over the previous generation. This enables the Cheetah 15K.4 to meet throughput requirements under highly demanding conditions with fewer drives, significantly lowering TCO. & the Cheetah 15K.4 achieves these performance gains while maintaining the same power, shock & acoustic characteristics of its 15K.3 predecessor.
