Seagate Constellation
2.5-inch Tier 2/Nearline Drive
with the Lowest Enterprise Power Usage
The Constellation 7200 hard drive enables manageable nearline storage solutions in 2.5 Inch chassis, either direct attach or in a tiered storage environment at the lowest power usage without compromising performance or reliability. Constellation drives deliver cost effective, eco-friendly nearline storage. Enterprise class firmware features and best-in-class rotational vibration tolerance maximizes system availability and performance in multi drive systems. Seagate proprietary Workload Management technology helps systems keep drives cool. The best 7200-RPM reliability for 24x7 business critical applications with an MTBF of 1.2M hours and an nonrecoverable error rate of 1 sector per 10E15 from a trusted source and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
Built on Seagate Unified Storage architecture
- Small form factor—15mm z-height provides a dense, eco-friendly, robust platform for easy integration.
- SAS 2.0—6Gb/s enables larger topologies at higher throughput and provides a higher signal strength over longer distances for improved scalability.
Enhanced Choices With Enterprise Capabilities
- PowerChoice host-selectable power options (1 to 4) reduce power consumption to a low of 1.1W.
- Both SATA 3Gb/s and SAS 6Gb/s interfaces utilize perpendicular recording technology to deliver the industry’s highest-capacity 2.5-inch nearline drive.
- Enterprise-class firmware features and best-in-class rotational vibration tolerance maximizes system availability and performance in multi-drive systems. Seagate proprietary Workload Management technology helps systems keep drives cool.
- The best 7200-RPM reliability for 24x7 business-critical applications with an MTBF of 1.2M hours and an nonrecoverable error rate of 1 sector per 10E15—from a trusted source and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
Key Advantages
- First 2.5-inch, 15mm nearline drive for space-constrained data centers.
- Lowest operating power and enhanced PowerChoice power options for unprecedented power savings (up to 54%—as low as 1.1W) during idle.
- The highest-reliability 7200-RPM drive, designed for 24x7 operation.
- Best-in-class rotational vibration tolerance ensures unrivalled performance in high spindle-density applications, and multi-drive firmware maximizes system availability.
- SAS offers seamless Tier 2 enterprise experience, with improved data integrity. SAS 2.0 enables faster data access and larger topologies, increasing system scalability, data throughput and connectivity.
- Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) option cuts IT drive retirement expenses while securely protecting data.
- FIPS Self-Encrypting Drive option provides all the benefits of SED and is NIST certified to meet U.S., Canada and U.K. federal data encryption compliance requirements.
