Seagate introduces the fastest rotating hard disk

Seagate has introduced on April 17 the high-capacity 3.5-inch Seagate Cheetah 15K.5 technology hard disk, with a rotation speed of up to 15,000 rpm, which is said to be a hard disk with a speed of rotation. The fastest in the world today.

The Seagate Cheetah 15K.5 hard disk drive has an amazingly fast rotation speed which includes 3 capacities of 73, 146 and 300 GB and are all made by orthogonal recording technology. Seagate said that this is a high-end hard disk, specialized for businesses.

Orthogonal disc recording technology is a technology that each magnetic field representing each bit will be recorded vertically, perpendicular to the surface of the disc, instead of recording horizontally on the surface like other types of hard disks. use today. This advanced technology makes it possible to narrow the diameter and increase the disk capacity to very high. Many companies, such as HGST, Toshiba, Fujitsu, and others have also launched a number of hard disk drives built with this technology . but it seems that no hard disk has achieved extremely fast rotation speeds like the Seagate Cheetah 15K series. 5 this.

Seagate said it will begin selling the first Cheetah 15K.5 around early June this year but has yet to announce pricing. The Seagate Cheetah 73.4GB hard disk with a rotation speed of 10,000 rpm is available in Vietnam and costs up to 265 USD. While the normal 80 GB hard disk, with a rotation speed of 7,200 rpm, costs just over US $ 70.
