Capacity-Optimized Enterprise Hard Drive for Bulk-Data Applications
• Highest-capacity large form factor enterprise drive—50% more capacity over
last generation with up to 6TB—for demanding data growth1
• Fastest high-capacity HDD with best-in-class random and sequential read/write
performance
• Eighth-generation drive technology for reliable access to bulk storage of
unstructured data
• Both 12Gb/s SAS and SATA 6Gb/s interfaces for easy integration into replicated
and RAID storage systems
• Enhanced error correction, super parity and end-to-end SAS-based data
integrity for accurate data storage
• Industry-leading rotational vibration tolerance ensures consistent performance.
• Improved power and cooling efficiencies with low power consumption and
on-demand PowerChoiceâ„¢ technology based on T10/T13 power management
standards
• Engineered for 24×7 workloads of 550TB/yr—10× that of desktop drives
• Robust performance with dual processors, ramp load technology, top-coverattached
motor and humidity sensor for optimum performance in all chassis
• Self-Encrypting Drive (AES-256) with FIPS 140-2 validation and Seagate Instant
Secure Erase cuts IT drive retirement costs while securely protecting data at
rest.2,3
