Savvio 10K.2 and Barracuda ES

Features: Seagate Technology has unveiled Savvio 10K.2 and Barracuda

ES to join the industry's most celebrated range of enterprise solutions.

Complementing the recently announced Cheetah 15K.5 series disc drive,

Seagate's new Savvio 10K.2 and Barracuda ES drives are optimized for a variety

of storage requirements in the enterprise.








Sherman Black, senior vice president and general manager, Seagate, Enterprise
Computing, said, “The enterprise continues to serve as the backbone of storage

for the world's data, with an information reach that extends from online

content on PCs and notebooks, to information stored on PVRs, gaming systems, and

personal hand-held devices. Seagate's latest solutions provide a significant

boost in capacity and reliability that far exceed prior generations in meeting

the needs of our OEM and channel customers who in turn serve IT

professionals.”






Seagate's second-generation 2.5-inch enterprise class disc drive, the Savvio
10K.2, delivers high I/O transaction performance with world-record 1.6 million

hour MTBF reliability and up to 146GB capacity. With ultra-low power consumption

that has dropped an average of 15 per cent over its prior generation, and a size

that is 70 per cent smaller than conventional 3.5-inch drives, the Savvio 10K.2

makes possible the integration of more drives into smaller chassis sizes to

enable storage systems to run cooler, faster, and more reliably than ever.






The Barracuda ES enables the cost-efficient business-critical
'infrastructure' build-out, delivering the largest capacity hard drive to

the datacenter. It targets storage solutions addressing today's growing

applications, including maximum capacity servers, rich media content, reference

and compliance data, and data protection schemes such as disk-to-disk, virtual

tape, snapshots and virtualization.
