HGST Ultrastar 15K600

The Ultrastar 15K600 combines ultimate performance with high capacity in a single drive, storing up to 600GB of data while spinning at 15,000 RPM. That amounts to a capacity growth of 33% over its predecessor to keep pace with digital data growth and improve space efficiency in today’s data centers. At the same time, sequential performance increased by 23% compared to prior generation to keep data moving faster. The 64MB cache buffer is the largest in the industry in its class. The 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and 4Gb/s Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL) interfaces support the reliability required in the most demanding enterprise computing environments like on-line transaction processing, intensive data analysis, multi-user applications and data warehousing.
