Seagate assists IT managers with real-world TCO analysis to choose
the best storage systems SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 15
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seagate (NASDAQ:STX) today announced a
series of SPC-1C(TM) and SPC-2C(TM) benchmark results that
represent the first component-level measurements by SPC and one of
its participating members, and the results showed impressive
performance for the Seagate Barracuda ES.2 1TB SAS hard drive. This
Tier 2 nearline drive emerged as the leader in both benchmarks when
put to the test against a number of competitor's drives [1, 2]. The
benchmarks, aimed at measuring and reporting both random
transactional and sequential performance data in real- world
environments, help system integrators estimate storage component
performance. The Storage Performance Council's latest SPC-1C and
SPC-2C benchmarks allow storage component vendors such as Seagate
to produce audited benchmark results using the same workloads as
SPC-1 and SPC-2 but at a component level, ranging from a single
storage device to a small subsystem of 24 devices or less. It is
highly anticipated that the industry standard SPC-1C and SPC-2C
will follow in the path of SPC-1 and SPC-2 as the premier
industry-wide standard benchmarks for measuring storage components.
"The SPC congratulates Seagate on taking a leadership role in
releasing the first set of SPC-1C and SPC-2C benchmark results,"
said Walter E. Baker, Administrator and Auditor for the Storage
Performance Council. "As IT budgets face continued constraint, but
application client demands continue to soar, SPC-1C and SPC-2C
tests will undoubtedly become increasingly important to the entire
industry." In SPC-1C tests that primarily simulate real-world
online transaction processing, the Seagate Barracuda ES.2 SAS hard
drive was pitted against products from Hitachi, Samsung, and WD.
The results showed that the Seagate Barracuda ES.2 hard drive was
the only drive capable of achieving 184.37 SPC- 1C IOPS(TM), with
the nearest competitor reaching just 170.04 SPC-1C IOPS, and the
poorest performer achieving only 119.44 SPC-1C IOPS. In real-world
applications where running hundreds or thousands of drives is
common, these differences ultimately measure up to significant cost
savings. In the dramatic results of the SPC-2C tests, which measure
sequential performance across a range of environments, the Seagate
Barracuda ES.2 hard drive set a new benchmark standard by
delivering 38% greater performance than the nearest competitor and
nearly doubled (93%) the performance set by the competing Hitachi
drive. "We're especially proud to lead the industry with these new,
audited SPC component benchmark results because they clearly show
that Seagate's SAS storage solutions are an ideal pathway to best
deliver and serve the needs of IT professionals who may be
evaluating SAS vs. SATA in their own enterprise storage
environments," said Sherman Black, senior vice president, Marketing
and Strategy Core Products Group. "Delivering continued value and
easing integration for our customers is critical, and no company is
more focused than Seagate on ensuring that IT professionals will
obtain that as well as industry-leading I/O performance,
reliability, and data integrity for the life of their storage
system." For more information about the family of disk drive
