Seagate ST9146752SS Internal Hard Drive Data Storage

The Seagate® Savvio® 15K.2 hard drive with secure encryption protects data-at-rest when drives leave your control and reduces IT drive retirement costs.* This second generation, 2.5-inch, 15K RPM drive provides more transactional performance density than any other drive in the world because it is the highest performing, greenest drive available for enterprise storage systems. By being able to use more than twice the drives per the same rack configuration than 3.5-inch 15,000-RPM drives, the Savvio 15K.2 hard drive with secure encryption delivers more than twice the system performance with industry leading reliability.

The Savvio 15K.2 drive also offers the advanced SAS 2.0 interface and operates at 6-Gb/s transfer rates. SAS 2.0 provides the next generation of signal and data integrity features, making SAS ideally suited for use in high-end network storage applications. The SAS 2.0 feature set and 6-Gb/s transfer rate supports larger topologies by connecting more expanders, host bus adapters and RAID controllers within or across more storage arrays; by communicating over longer distances with high signal integrity, and by moving data two times faster, thereby doubling data throughput.

- 115 percent improvement in system-level performance over 3.5-inch 15K drives
- PowerTrim™ technology dynamically reduces power up to 70 percent over comparable 3.5-inch 15K drives
- IOPS/W are 2.5 times better than comparable 3.5-inch Tier-1 drives
- 70 percent smaller size than 3.5-inch drives reduces overall system cooling costs
- Supports 6-Gb/s transfer rates and SAS 2.0 feature set
- Self-Encrypting drive security cuts IT drive retirement expenses while securely protecting data and is one of the easiest, most cost-effective security measures you can implement
- Second-generation 2.5-inch 15K enterprise drive with field-proven reliability
- Requires TCG compliant host or controller support.
