Seagate (http://www.seagate.com) has announced worldwide shipments of its Savvio 10K.4 hard disk drive (HDD), which they say is the world’s highest-capacity and most reliable 2.5-inch enterprise-class drive.

Built for the demands of enterprise servers and to enable new levels of data density in external storage arrays, Savvio 10K.4 doubles the capacity of its nearest competitor to 600GB. It’s purportedly also the first HDD to achieve an unprecedented two million hours Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) reliability rating.

As the industry’s only fourth generation, field-proven, 2.5-inch HDD designed for the enterprise, Savvio 10K.4 also features Protection Information for enhanced protection of data-in-flight, a self-encrypting drive (SED) option for the ultimate protection of sensitive data-at-rest and PowerChoice, which allows the Savvio 10K.4 hard drive to deliver improved power savings during idle.
