Seagate Savvio 10K.3 Hard Drives

Smaller, Faster and More Energy-Efficient

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.

More Robust, With Higher Integrity

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.

Strong Enough for National Security

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).

Unified Storage Architecture

By using SFF drives, a common SAS interface and SED security capabilities, Seagate Unified Storage architecture delivers a best-of-breed foundation for powerful yet simple storage solutions for the data center. What’s more, Unified Storage architecture enables superior multi-drive servers and storage solutions that reduce costs and design complexity for OEMs and other system builders, lowers TCO while improving ROI by providing large enterprises and SMBs lower-cost multi-drive servers and storage, and reduces storage complexity and enables peace of mind for the IT manager.

   Key Advantages

• Seagate PowerTrim technology dynamically reduces power.
• 75% power savings over comparable 3.5-inch 300GB capacity drives.
• 70% smaller size over 3.5-inch drives reduces overall system cooling costs.
