HARD DISK MANUFACTURER Seagate has announced that it is shipping its 3.5-inch Constellation ES drive, calling it the industry's first 2TB enterprise-class drive featuring 6GB SAS.
The firm said that the drive was pitched at systems builders that want high specification storage with massive capacities, but don't want to destroy the planet with it. So, the drive offers increased power efficiency along with enterprise-class reliability and data security. Seagate explained that ideally these drives will find their way into multi-drive nearline storage environments.
"Nearline is the fastest growing segment in enterprise storage and Seagate is committed to meeting the market demands of its OEM and system integrator partners in this space," said Carla Kennedy, vice president, Seagate enterprise product line management. "Seagate's leadership in technology development, volume manufacturing and supply chain execution has resulted in an exemplary next-generation nearline solution. The Constellation ES drive tackles the concerns of shrinking IT budgets, floor space constraints and energy consumption, efficiently and cost-effectively."
The Constellation ES drives are available with storage capacities of 500GB, 1TB and 2TB, and can support up to 76TB of data per square foot. µ
