Hitachi has just announced its Ultrastar 15K450 hard disk drive that packages 450 GB of free space using perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology. It is true that such capabilities are no longer new, as other
Companies ship 1 TB drives, but Hitachi 450 GB in the offering spins at 15000 rotations per minute and is the largest disk, in the enterprise-class market.

In Ultrastar 15K450 particularly in the light of mission critical server and storage applications, including databases under intensive processing and online transactions. The drive is built on the basis of the state of the art machining technologies such as liquid with a dynamic engines, in order to keep noise levels at a minimum, as well as Hitachi's patented head load / unload ramp, which protects the integrity of the data.

Built-in security Rotational Vibration (RVS) technology tries to predict disturbances that took place during the period, usually installed in several disk installation and automatically corrects errors produced by the mini-shock vibration, in order to preserve data integrity, accuracy and security.

"With the higher capacity and performance Ultrastar 15K450, enterprises are able to meet their requirements using less bandwidth disks, which reduces the three things, and the cost of ownership, in the datacenter footprint and the total energy requirements," said Dean Amin, Director, Market and Strategy, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies.

According to the company, internal tests unveiled a 30 per cent improvement in sequential throughput over the company previously enterprise-class shares. Drive very quickly and sports an average seek time of about 3.3 milliseconds on average latencies of 2 milliseconds because of its increasing speed.

"This, combined with our intensive testing and quality assurance process, Ultrastar 15K450 offers the highest performance and reliability of mission-critical computing environments," Amin continued.

The company also claimed that the drive will be available in both 3Gb / s serial attached SCSI (SAS) and 4Gb / s Fibre Channel (FC) interfaces for maximum compatibility and troughput data in a server environment.
