This version of the Savvio drive is the fourth-generation 2.5-inch hard disk drive. Among the features (optional and otherwise):
- Enhanced protection of data in flight;
- Self encrypting drive;
- Power savings during idle time.
The big sell here for data center managers is that the Savvio 10K.4 doubles capacity in the same rack space occupied by 3.5-inch 15K 600GB drives.
