“We are pleased to announce these new flash memory products.
With these new drives, Seagate solidifies its commitment to the
flash-based storage market by delivering enterprise SSDs and
server-side solutions as well as client solutions,” said Gary
Gentry, senior vice president and general manager of Seagate’s
solid state drive business. “By adding more SSDs to our family of
hard disk and solid state hybrid drives, we now have the broadest
portfolio of storage products in the industry, delivering one-stop
shopping for our customers and partners. And we’re just getting
started. Seagate is committed to becoming a premier supplier of
both solid state drives and storage class memory products. We have
put in place a winning strategy for developing multiple high value,
flash based products and solutions for our customers.”
Seagate 600 SSD: Faster Performance with 6Gb/s SATA
The ultimate laptop upgrade, the Seagate 600 SSD delivers faster
boot up speeds, shorter application load times, and improved system
responsiveness for the ultimate performance. Laptop users can boot
up nearly four times faster and load applications more than two
times faster than with a standard hard drive, greatly reducing the
amount of wait time to access content1.
“SSDs continue to be among the most popular product categories
on Newegg.com as more consumers increasingly turn to them to
deliver more speed, faster boot up times and superior performance,”
said Patrick Chung, vice president of global product management at
Newegg. “Seagate’s new line of SSDs, including the new 600 SSD,
will be a great addition to our existing assortment. We’re excited
to introduce the new SSDs to our customers and look forward to
continuing our strategic partnership with Seagate.”
“Over the years, Seagate has been a valued partner contributing
a vast array of storage solutions to our comprehensive selection of
IT products,” says Lionel Garcia, vice president at Tiger Direct.
“Seagate’s products are in high demand among our customers and
we’re excited to add their new SSD to our assortment. As consumer
demand for greater speed and shorter boot up times continues to
rise, the new 600 SSD will provide customers with the ultimate
performance they crave.”
Fast and as easy to install as a hard disk drive upgrade, the
Seagate 600 SSD is available in multiple z-heights including an
industry-first, diminutive 5mm-high drive making it ideal for most
ultra-thin devices as well as standard laptop systems. The drive
features up to 480GB of capacity and comes in a 2.5 form factor. It
also incorporates a 6Gb/s SATA interface for fast data transfer
rates and easy connection.
Seagate 600 Pro SSD—Fast Performance, Low Power with 6Gb/s
SATA
A low power server and storage solution, the Seagate 600 Pro SSD
is ideal for cloud system builders, hyperscale datacenters, cloud
service providers, content delivery networks, and virtualized
environments. An entry-level enterprise SATA SSD, the 600 Pro SSD
combines fast performance and lower power delivering best-in-class
performance efficiency and IOPS/watt value.
“By incorporating Seagate's SSD technology into our product
offerings we are able to address customer demand for greater speed,
short, consistent response times, and greater enclosure and power
efficiencies,” said Paul Poynter, CTO Rorke Data, an Avnet business
unit. “As we continue to drive PC innovation in today's markets, we
look forward to integrating this enterprise SSD technology into our
Rorke product line providing our discerning customers with the
ultimate in performance and value.”
Engineered with efficiency in mind, the 600 Pro SSD features the
industry’s highest IOPS/watt to improve system performance while
reducing power and cooling costs for transaction-hungry datacenters
and cloud enterprise applications. Utilizing 2.8 watts typical
operating power, the drive reduces energy by automatically
adjusting the power consumption to workload I/O levels— using less
power for lighter workloads. The drive is also equipped with the
intelligence to deliver high-data integrity, safeguarding against
unexpected power loss and undetected corruption when a device is
powered off.
The Seagate 600 Pro SSD is available with up to 480GB capacity
and comes in 2.5-inch form factor. It is equipped with a 6Gb/s SATA
interface for fast data transfer rates and easy connection to
existing SATA infrastructure.
Seagate 1200 SSD— Ultra-Fast Speed, Consistent Performance
with 12Gb/s SAS
Designed for demanding enterprise storage and server
applications with complex, write-intensive mixed workloads, such as
high-performance computing and data analytics, the Seagate 1200 SSD
delivers the ultimate in speed, consistent performance and the
highest levels of data integrity.
Built to deliver ultra-fast data access, the drive uses
algorithms that optimize performance for frequently accessed data
by prioritizing which storage operations, reads or writes, occur
first and optimizing where it is stored. The result is improved
performance to help close the gap between processor and data
access.
It incorporates a dual port 12Gb/s SAS connector providing 100
percent faster interface speed, over previous generations, for
twice the I/O bandwidth while ensuring the highest level of
reliability, availability and scalability. The drive is also
backwards compatible with 6Gb/s SAS environments.
The 1200 SSD leverages Seagate’s existing enterprise expertise
and manufacturing excellence to deliver high levels of data
integrity, manageability, testing and support. It also safeguards
data against unexpected power loss and protects data from
undetected, unintentional corruption.
The Seagate 1200 SSD is available with up to 800GB capacity and
comes in either a 1.8-inch or 2.5 inch form factor.
Seagate X8 Accelerator— Application Performance
Turbocharged
The Seagate X8 Accelerator, powered by Virident, delivers
memory-class performance and storage-class capacity with enterprise
reliability and data integrity in a single, low profile PCIe card.
Providing industry-leading performance, with up to 1.1 million
IOPS, the X8 Accelerator boosts server performance with ultra-fast
speed that is up to 2X faster than the closest competitor and
closer to DRAM performance than storage.
Boasting high storage capacity (up to 2.2TB) in a small
footprint (HHHL half height half length) the X8 Accelerator fits in
any server. The card’s x8 PCI Express Gen-2 interface enables it to
deliver maximum application performance in database and
virtualization applications such as Microsoft© SQL Server, Oracle
Enterprise Server, MySQL, and VMware.
