Everything you wanted to know about Seagate enterprise drives – but not from Seagate

sacklunch1

The guys over at sacklun.ch must’ve spend a month spinning Seagate drives to generate this thoughtful and incredibly thorough review.  Their focus was documenting the difference between 2.5″ and 3.5″ enterprise drives using just about every imaginable scale.

Consider it a handy 3rd party reference for Seagate’s enterprise line-up. 

Of course, you can always go here for Seagate’s perspective on Cheetah, Savvio and Constellation drives.

    Thanks for all your work Jeremy. Good insights for us at Seagate as well. What were your biggest “a-ha”s from your tests?

    You know, most of it was pretty predictable– The one thing that did kind of catch me off guard was how the Savvio 10K.3 was actually more capable than the Cheetah 15K.5 in some regards. The relationship between those two drives was very tight. The 15K.5 is no lightweight, but its successor certainly manages better performance in all areas. I’m looking forward to reviewing the Cheetah 15K.7 when it becomes available to see if it can manage better multiple user performance than the Savvio 15K.2.
