Seagate Savvio 10K.3 300GB 10K RPM SAS 6Gb/s 16MB Cache 2.5" 15mm Enterprise Class Hard Drive - ST9300403SS (SED FIPS 140-2 Opal)

Solution designers count on the Seagate Savvio 10K.3 drive's design flexibility to provide competitive solutions afforded by the smaller size, higher capacity, lower power consumption, and greater performance and reliability. It is the innovative market enabler for green/low-power solutions, while providing capacities up to 300GB. The Savvio 10K.3 drive reduces system power consumption and cooling requirements with PowerTrim technology and is the industry's lowest power 2.5-inch, Tier-1/mission-critical, enterprise-ready drive. The Savvio 10K.3 drive supports the more robust SAS 2.0 features to meet rigorous enterprise requirements (faster data transfers at 6Gb/s and a higher level of data integrity for interface communications). It has field-proven reliability and optimizes ROI with low power, high capacity and high performance for your customer's mission-critical Tier 1 systems. Distributors can standardize on a 2.5-inch form factor with 6Gb/s SAS, reducing design/support costs. The Savvio 10K.3 drive is available in SED or FIPS SED models; both eliminate the need to overwrite or physically destroy drives, enable secure return of drives for warranty or expired lease purposes, and allow organizations to securely repurpose or sell hard drives. For added physical security and more stringent regulatory compliance needs, the FIPS SED model is FIPS 140-2 Validated for use with sensitive but unclassified or protected (A or B) class data. These Seagate Secure models help OEMs and system builders gain competitive advantage, differentiate solutions (with strong data security), sell to new customers (that require strong data security), and protect brand equity (and customer confidence).
