The Seagate Cheetah series has been a favorite among high-end enthusiast for some time now. With its high rotation speed of 15k Revolution Per Minute (RPM), it can sustain much higher transfer rates compared to conventional disks. The connoisseur will even pair them in a Raid configuration to, theoretically, double the bandwidth.
The new version has a higher capacity of 450GB but also consumes less power per GB. According to Seagate, it has a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 1.6 million hours. It’s the high-performance HDD per excellence, but noisier and hotter.
