Ultimate Performance Meets High Capacity The Hitachi Ultrastar 15K450 is a next-generation 3.5-inch 15,000 RPM enterprise class hard drive that delivers exceptional performance and reliability for mission-critical non-stop computing environments. With a spacious capacity of up to 450GB, 16MB cache, and a choice of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 3Gb/s or Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL) 4Gb/s interfaces, this hard drive is the ideal solution for demanding enterprise computing needs such as online transaction processing, data analysis, and multi-user applications. Highest Reliability for Demanding Environments The Ultrastar 15K450 comes equipped with important reliability features to ensure optimal performance. Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology helps maintain drive performance in multi-drive systems where rotational vibration is likely to occur. Hitachi's patented Thermal Fly-height Control (TFC) technology maintains a consistent fly-height during the read/write process, resulting in a better soft error rate. Additionally, end-to-end data protection enhances error detection for maximum data integrity. The Ultrastar 15K450 is also the only enterprise-class hard drive to utilize a head load/unload ramp, minimizing drive failures due to handling during integration. Proven PMR Technology The Ultrastar 15K450 is the first enterprise-class drive from Hitachi to use Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) technology. This technology has already been successfully implemented in the company's mobile and desktop product lines, and has been proven to be reliable and efficient for demanding mission-critical server and storage applications in the enterprise environment.
