Maximum Performance with TurboBoost Technology

Seagate Enterprise Performance 15K HDDs kick performance into a higher gear with TurboBoost-enhanced cache models:

- Accelerates I/O operations and optimizes response times (up to 20× over base drive models) 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 models) in real life workloads
- Delivers more predictable performance while protecting data from corruption due to unexpected power loss

12Gb/s SAS Enterprise HDDs Are Perfect for:

- Building high-performance servers that host warm and hot data in the most demanding application environments
- Reducing latencies for significantly faster, predictable response times
- Creating blade, rack or tower servers to host transaction-based applications
- Delivering solutions for power- and space-constrained data centers
- Upgrading systems for increased data security and easy drive retirement
- Transitioning from legacy 3.5-inch systems to more efficient 2.5-inch solutions
- Improving TCO by minimizing system complexity and reducing operating costs
