Unparalleled HDD Power Savings

Enterprise Capacity 2.5 HDDs reduce per-gigabyte cooling and energy costs by packing high capacities into an SFF, low-power-consumption drive.

Included Seagate PowerChoice technology can further reduce energy costs by empowering IT organizations to tailor systems for optimal performance and power consumption. This results in power savings of up to 35% over traditional 3.5-inch drives, and potentially operating at low as 1.1 watts when idle. PowerChoice is based on the T13- and T10-compliant power management standard.

Big Storage for Small Spaces

Enterprise Capacity 2.5 HDDs can help you deploy additional enterprise storage without expanding your data center.

With its 15mm z-height, the 2TB model is the third generation of the leading 2.5-inch hard drive capacity-optimized for dense, space-constrained data centers. This model can help you store twice as much data in the same footprint. Also features for nearline storage:

• Enterprise-class firmware and best-in-class rotational vibration tolerance maximize system availability and performance in multi-drive systems

• 12Gb/s SAS for improved data integrity, and scalability over long distances with fastest data access

• The SATA 6Gb/s interface is ideal to maximize for fast, economical bulk data storage

Save Money with Seagate Secure Drives

Seagate Secure Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) are TCG-compliant and can improve data-at-rest security and reduce drive retirement costs. The SEDs meet regulatory data security compliance requirements and are FIPS 140-2 Validated to protect Sensitive but Unclassified and Protected class data.

Moreover, Seagate Instant Secure Erase feature on the SED and FIPS drives renders all data unreadable in less than a second. Learn more about Seagate secure disk erase deployment options.
