The Seagate Enterprise Advantage

The Constellation ES drive is the highest capacity enterprise-class hard drive capable of storing an unprecedented 76TB per square foot (in its 2TB capacity), maximizing data center fl oor space at the lowest $/GB. Be completely assured knowing this nearline drive optimizes your 3.5-inch chassis performance with the lowest power draw (less than 8W), running cooler in higher-temperature environments. This is perfect for enterprise tiered storage solutions or small-to-medium businesses, which lack the luxury of a temperature-controlled data center.

Employed by industry-leading enterprise OEMs, system builders and integrators who build cost-effective, high-capacity and eco-friendly enterprise-class server and storage solutions, the Constellation ES drive is the one and only drive that offers both the industry-leading 6Gb/s SAS interface—with its proven scalability, performance and enterprise features—and the traditional SATA 3Gb/s interface for seamless enterprise integration. It is the fi rst enterprise drive with low halogen and complete RoHS compliance.

The Constellation ES drive extends the industry’s best fi eld-proven reliability into a high-capacity nearline drive based on world-renowned Seagate enterprise experience, including support, design, lifecycle management and eco-system compatibility. This nearline drive offers an MTBF of 1.2 million hours for economical, enterprisegrade reliability. The Constellation ES drive’s implementation of 6Gb/s SAS improves scalability, which makes this drive ideally suited for use in high-end, high-capacity network storage solutions. It is the industry’s fi rst 3.5-inch nearline drive to implement the new SAS 2.0 feature set and is the world’s fi rst 3.5-inch nearline drive to operate at 6Gb/s transfer rates.
