The Cheetah disc drive is produced by Seagate Technology, Scotts Valley, California, and has been dubbed the industry's fastest disc drive. The Cheetah is the worlds first-announced drive to utilize 10,000-rpm technology The increased rotational remarkably increases data transfer rates to 15 Mbytes/ sec which is 40% greater than that f 7, 200-rpm drives. The 10,000-rpm rotational rate also significantly reduces the seek time Seagate's pioneering of the 10,000-rpm technology enables OEMs, VARs, and system integrators to take advan tage of performance levels that were previously unattainable. Seagate has developed and manufactured some of the industry's highest-performance disc drives which not only enable users to achieve higher levels of system performance, but will also introduce exciting new electronic applications.
