solid-state drive (SSD) for consumers,
while also announcing its next-
generation enterprise SSDs, Seagate
600 Pro SSD and the Seagate 1200
SSD.
Seagate 600 SSD is a laptop-friendly
drive that offers nearly four times
faster boot times and two times
faster application load times when
compared with a standard hard drive.
The Seagate 600 SSD is available in
multiple z-heights including a 5mm-
high drive making it ideal for use in
most ultra-thin devices. The drive
features up to 480GB of capacity and
incorporates a 6Gbps SATA interface.
There's no word yet on the pricing or
availability details of the Seagate 600
SSD.
"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.
Seagate 600 Pro, on the other hand, is
an entry-level enterprise drive that
aims to combine fast performance and
lower power to deliver performance
efficiency and IOPS/ watt value. It,
too, is available in up to 480GB
capacities and comes in 2.5-inch form
factor with a 6Gbps SATA interface.
The Seagate 1200 SSD is designed for
demanding enterprise storage and
server applications with complex,
write-intensive mixed workloads, such
as high-performance computing and
data analytics. It incorporates a dual-
port 12Gbps SAS connector, while
retaining backwards compatibility with
6Gbps SAS environments. 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.
"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," Gentry
added.
