SEAGATE SAVVIO 10K.3
For those that need a
bit more capacity over speed, Seagate also has a 10k
RPM Savvio drive. Here, we look at the
third-generation model, called the Savvio 10k.3.
Here are its specs:
Note how the 6Gb/s SAS is available now!
Our test platform is as
follows:
Now we go to the
individual drive results:
HDTach 3.0.4.0, 32MB Zones
HDTach 3.0.4.0, VAR Zones
Atto Disk Benchmark
Wow, these numbers are even
higher than the 15k.1! Next, we put two
10k.3 drives in RAID-0...
HDTach 3.0.4.0, 32MB Zones
 s
HDTach 3.0.4.0, VAR Zones
Atto Disk Benchmark
In RAID-0, we see that this pair closes the
gap with the 15k.2 RAID-0 array very closely!
Although not 15k, these Savvio 10K.3 drives
are nothing to sneeze at. Besides, the
only other 10k drives you can get are those WD
Raptors, and those are SATA units, not exactly
made for enterprise use. These Savvios
were built for reliability, and Seagate offers
the 10K.3s with a hefty 300GB of space.
Impressive performance, great capacity, and
small size - what's not to like?
