HGST Releases Fastest, Highest Capacity 15K RPM 12Gb/s SAS Hard Drives

[4960X]

By doubling the capacity of current generation 2.5-inch 15K drives, and matching the highest capacity point of 3.5-inch 15K drives, the Ultrastar C15K600 easily keeps pace with the need for improved storage density. Its 600 GB capacity match further enables enterprise customers to transition from 3.5-inch to 2.5-inch HDD platforms while benefiting from other gains such as higher performance and lower power. For example, when faced with power limitations, the Ultrastar C15K600 drive's 2.5-inch SFF, along with HGST Advanced Power Management technology, provides up to a 55 percent improvement in active power and 54 percent improvement in idle power consumption over HGST's current 3.5-inch 15K HDDs.

Holy balls. Imagine an SSD with that storage, on a PCI-E 16x interface...

They exist (Seagate has a number), but they aren't really any better than the old ones. Their random performance hasn't budged an inch, which is what they do most often when they're used to cache mechanical storage. All-flash storage might benefit in sequential operations, but nobody stores files like that on all-flash storage.

Imagine building a server with these drives...it'd be epic!
