Today Seagate takes the wraps off a new addition to its SCSI hard drive family designed to increase capacity and reduce power consumption while sacrificing as little performance as possible. This latest drive, dubbed the Cheetah NS, is identical to Seagate's top-of-the-line Cheetah 15K.5 with one important exception: while the 15K.5 spins at 15,000 RPM, the NS only turns at 10,000 RPM. Seagate has essentially backed off the spindle speed of its 15K-RPM product to create a new 10K-RPM offering, allowing the NS to enjoy the best of both worlds.
