Cheetah 10K.7Reliability, Performance and Low Ownership CostHighest Reliability? The Cheetah® 10K.7 uses a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB)motor, the same technology used by the Cheetah 15K.FDB reduces the drive's acoustics and improvesreliability with the removal of ball bearings in the motor.? Seagate-exclusive enhanced Error Correction Codebetter maintains performance throughout the life of thedrive and improves reliability by decreasing the bit errorrate, resulting in a lower probability of lost data.? Background Media Scan, a Seagate-exclusive feature,scans the media for potential defects during drive idletime-rather than in the midst of trying to complete acustomer's read/write request-without using systembandwidth. It enables incipient errors to be correctedbefore data is lost.? The Cheetah 10K.7 is designed and manufactured bythe same teams that successfully delivered the past sixaward-winning generations of Cheetah.
