Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 ST3146356SS - 146.3 GB - 3.5" SAS Internal HDD - 15000 rpm - 16 MB Buffer

The seventh-generation Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 delivers industry-leading performance, capacity and dependability for 3.5-inch enterprise storage. Designed to lower total cost of ownership, its improved watts/GB ratio reduces power and cooling expenses while enabling more efficient use of capacity. Higher per-drive throughput means fewer drives are required, cutting support infrastructure, rack space and storage management costs. Reliability is a core focus: the drive offers an industry-leading MTBF of 1.6 million hours. Seagate-exclusive enhanced error correction code helps maintain consistent performance over the drive’s life and lowers the probability of lost data. The third generation of Seagate-exclusive background media scan runs during idle time to identify and correct incipient media defects before they become data loss events. A quick and robust download feature installs firmware in seconds and includes built-in protection to prevent corruption if power is lost during a firmware switch.
