6TB 128MB 7200RPM SAS

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 growth
- 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 PowerChoice 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-cover-attached 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.
