Itty Bitty SCSI Hard Drive Arrives

Posted by michael on Friday October 15, 2004 @07:30AM from the little-silver-different dept.

Bender writes "The Tech Report has a review of the new Seagate Savvio hard drive. This little SCSI drive is roughly one-third the size of the Cheetah 10K-RPM drives so popular for servers, but the benchmarks all show it performing about the same. Not only that, but noise levels and power consumption are both lower than 3.5" SCSI drives. Is it time for 1U servers to convert to 2.5" hard drives?"

Actually, now you can fit 10 drives in 1U instead of 4.

SCSI in laptops? Keep dreaming.
