According to Sun Microsystems, the new device is capable of 1.6 million input/output operations per second and it has 12.8Gbps worth of bandwidth.
Sun claimed that the San Diego Supercomputer Center is considering using the new storage system to host its 100 million files.

With 64MB of cache and 7,200rpm, the device meets the new 6Gbps SATA standard.
Seagate claims the data transfer rate for the new hard disc drive is 140MB per second and the device is backward compatible so can be slotted into existing server cabinet mountable data storage arrays.
