HGST ULTRASTAR C15K600 600GB 15000RPM SAS 512N TCG Enterprise Hard Drive 600 sas 128 MB Cache 2.5-Inch Internal Bare or OEM Drives 0B28989

HGST delivers the world's fastest hard disk drive in the Ultra star C15K600, a 15K RPM, 2.5-inch small form factor hard drive ideally suited for mission-critical data center and high performance computing environments. At 600GB, Ultra star C15K600 provides double the capacity of current generation 2.5-inch 15K drives, and matches the highest capacity point of 3.5-inch 15K drives. This latest addition to the Ultra star small form factor (SFF) family outperforms not only the competition but also legacy 3.5-inch 15K drives from HGST, achieving 38% faster sequential and 2.5X faster random write performance for faster data processing, while consuming half as much active and idle power. The C15K600 is HGST's first hard drive to leverage an industry-leading 12Gb/s Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) interface enabling very high transfer rates between host and drive, supporting the performance and reliability required in the most demanding enterprise computing environments like on-line transaction processing (OLTP), big data analytics, multi-user applications and data warehousing. The compact size and power management innovations designed into the Ultra star C15K600 enable high levels of power efficiency and translate into reduced power requirements and lower cooling costs, an ideal choice for enterprise data centers faced with space and power limitations. Compared to legacy 3.5-inch 15K drives, Ultra star C15K600 consumes 70% less space yet provides up to 55% lower active power and 54% lower idle power requirements. Ultra star C15K600 extends the company's longstanding tradition of reliability leadership with a 2M hour MTBF rating, an annualized failure rate (AFR) of 0.44% and a 5-year limited warranty.
