Storage Effect

Enterprise drives now offer performance and capacity

Back in the day, high performance enterprise drives were all about performance, with little capacity to speak of.  The performance is still there in spades, as you can see in this review. But maximum capacity has gone through the roof. 

This is yet another sign of the sea change in business use of information, exponentially increasing content volume and capacity requirements for even the most rigorous enterprise applications.

By the way, Seagate has launched the next generation of these high capacity, high performance drives.  The Cheetah 15K.6 ships with up to 450GB (almost a half terabyte!), and it’s faster yet.
