Seagate is shipping what it says is the “world’s fastest” drive for scale-out, cloud-based data centers. It’s the 6TB hard disk drive dubbed the Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD v4.
Scott Horn, Seagate’s vice president of marketing, says the drive enables faster data transfers by building on an eight-generation platform that lets it deliver up to a 25% increase in performance over competing 6TB drives. The Enterprise Drive utilizes the latest generation of 12Gb/s SAS and is also available in an enterprise-ready SATA 6Gb/s interface for simplified system integration.
The drive is shipping to select Seagate Cloud partners and resellers. It will also be integrated into Seagate’s branded storage products later this spring. Go to http://seagate.com/www/6TB_Drive for more info.
