Seagate Unveils Savvio HD

While waiting for the transition to sSD, Seagate announced its new 2.5" HD, aka Savvio 10K4.

Those drives are dedicated to servers and heavy usage systems (24/7). They spin at 10,000 rpm and offer up to 600 GB of storage space. They are available in 2 format, SAS at 6 Gbits/s and Fiber Channel at4 Gbits/s.
With a dedicated adaptor it is possible to install them in a Mac Pro sporting a RAID card. They are more silent that the 3.5" SAS and drain/exhaust much less power. The annual failure rate is 0.44% according to Seagate, much lower than the HD dedicated to the consumer electronic market.
