Seagate Savvio 10K.5 300 GB 10000 RPM SAS 6-Gb/S 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST9300605SS)

The Savior 10K.5 drive is the highest-capacity 2.5-Inch, 10K drive and the first SFF drive to offer four capacity points on a single platform. This drive enables improved storage efficiency by providing up to 900GB in a single drive, helping data centers manage more data without increasing the number of drives, all while increasing sustained data rates by 18% (over previous generation) and maintaining favorable power consumption rates. The small form factor allows enterprises to solve space constraints through higher-density storage. Seagate Power Choice technology enables OEMs and data centers to tailor systems for performance and power consumption, enabling green IT initiatives. The Savior 10K.5 drive reduces system complexity by standardizing on a common form factor, storage interface and encryption technology. This means fewer device types, form factors, interfaces and security technologies need to be deployed, inventoried and managed. OEMs and data centers have the flexibility to maintain or upgrade capacity, transition from 3.5 x 2.5 Inches form factors, and/or migrate from Fiber Channel to SAS drives in one or more steps. With four capacity points on the same drive platform, the Savior 10K.5 drive enables easier support for current systems and optimized return on existing investments. Protection Information and Self-Encrypting Drive options protect data from corruption during the storage process and from exposure should the device by lost, stolen, or retired helping organizations meet compliance and data security objectives. Seagate Instant Secure Erase makes drive retirement and repurposing safe, fast and affordable.
