Seagate has done it yet again. The Scotts Valley, California headquartered company has come out with the world’s highest-capacity enterprise hard disk drive in the enterprise storage category. The Savvio 10K.4 can hold 600GB worth of data.
Savvio 10K.4 measures 14.8mm (H) X 70.0mm (W) X 100.2mm (L), and weighs 208g. It has a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, and a sustained data transfer rate of 141 Mb/s. The average latency time is 3.0 ms. Savvio requires a random seek time of 3.89 ms and a random write time of 4.54 ms, to operate an overall I/O data transfer rate of 600 MB/s.
Savvio 10K.4 has an interface of 6 Gbps SAS, and a cache of 16MB. With a reliability of 2 million hours of MTBF, the annual failure rate is estimated to be about 0.44%. Savvio requires a 12V start max current of 1.65A and 5V start max current of 0.86A. The average idle power requirement is 4.6W.
The device’s firmware comes with enhanced data protection features such as a self-encrypting drive (SED) option.
