Seagate Constellation.2

Whether you are running storage hungry business applications, or simply running your home PC, The Seagate Constellation.2 Hard Drive will provide you the necessary hardware to quickly and efficiently backup and save your data. This drive is also compatible with various server and network configurations making this an effective drive for both (Storage Area Networks) and (Network Attached Storage) setups. Within those configurations you can utilize this drive in both maximum capacity servers as well as blade servers. Enterprise class firmware features and best-in-class rotational vibration tolerance maximize system availability and performance. Lowest operating power (under 6.4W) and enhanced PowerChoice options for additional power savings during slow or idle periods, Workload Management technology helps systems keep drives cool. Self Encrypting Drive (SED) option (AES-256) cuts IT drive retirement costs while securely protecting data where it lives on the drive. FIPS 140-2 Validated drives protect Sensitive but Unclassified and Protected class data.

    Deploy Additional Enterprise Storage without Expanding your Data Centre

  • The 1 TB Seagate Constellation.2 drive maximises use of your data centre footprint by supporting up to 76 TB per square foot.

    Deploy a High-Capacity Enterprise Storage Solution that Lowers Energy Costs

  • Operates at fewer than 6.4W on average — the lowest operating power in the industry — saving up to 41% over traditional 3.5-inch drives. Save up to 54% more energy with the PowerChoice technology feature.
  • Small form factor design provides for improved system airflow and cooling.

    Improve the Uptime of your Data Centre and lower your Storage Management Costs

  • The Constellation.2 enterprise drive features a mean-time-between-failures (MTBF) rating of 1.4M hours and an unmatched annualised failure rate (AFR) of 0.62% to deliver the industry’s highest level of reliability for a 24×7, 7,200 RPM nearline drive.
  • Lower data management costs by deploying a secure and scalable tiered storage solution that exploits the performance and capacity of Seagate Savvio (10K and 15K RPM) and Constellation.2 (7,200 RPM) enterprise drives across the data centre.

   Key Advantages

  • Second generation of the industry’s first 2.5-inch, mainstream capacity, 15 mm z-height, enterprise-class nearline drive for space-constrained data centres.
  • Choose 6 Gb/s SAS for improved data integrity, scalability over longer distances and fast data access, or SATA 6 Gb/s for fast, economical Tier-2/Nearline performance.
  • The industry’s most reliable 7,200 RPM drive, designed for 24×7 operation with an MTBF (mean time between failures) rating of 1.4M hours and an AFR (annualised failure rate) of 0.62% — all backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
  • Enterprise-class firmware features and best-in-class rotational vibration tolerance maximises system availability and performance in multi-drive systems, ensuring top performance of up to 115 MB/s of maximum sustained throughput.
  • Lowest operating power (under 6.4W) and enhanced PowerChoice options for additional power savings (up to 54 per cent — as low as 1.1W) during slow or idling periods; Workload Management technology helps systems to keep drives cool.
  • US-government-grade Self-Encrypting Drive security option available.

   Best-fit Applications

  • Storage Hungry Business Applications
  • Storage Area Networks (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS)
  • Maximum Capacity Servers and Blade Servers
  • Rich Media Content Storage — Audio, Video, Image
  • Reference and Compliance Data Storage
  • Enterprise Backup and Restore - D2D, Virtual Tape
  • Cloud Computing
