Largest Enterprise-Class HDD
Boys and girls, this is not something you're going to play with at home, unless you have a server in the basement, and it doesn't provide an insane capacity either, but since when we talk about enterprise storage solutions, speed and reliability come in first place, I am not surprised to see that the largest hard drive for this market has "only" 450GB...
Coming from Hitachi, the Ultrastar 15K450 has the following technical specifications:
450GB (GB = 1 billion bytes, accessible capacity may be less)
183 billion bits per square inch maximum areal density
4 platters, 8 recording heads
2090 Mb/s max. media data rate
3.6 ms average seek time (with command overhead)
15,000 RPM, 2.0 ms average latency
3Gb/s SAS, 4Gb/s FCAL interfaces
16 MB data buffer
25.8 mm in height (max)
750 in weight (max)
250 G/2 ms pulse non-operating shock
SAS: 13.3 watt idle power
FCAL: 13.4 watt idle power
3.7 Bels typical idle acoustics
5 to 55 degrees C operating temperature
Related to this product, Dean Amini, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies' director of enterprise market and strategy, says "With the higher capacity and performance of the Ultrastar 15K450, enterprises are able to address their throughput requirements using fewer drives, which reduces three things; the cost of ownership, the datacenter’s footprint and overall power requirements. Coupled with our intensive testing and quality assurance process, the Ultrastar 15K450 offers the highest available performance and reliability for mission-critical computing environment."
