Seagate 146 GM Savvio SAS 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST9146853SS)

The Savior 15K.3 drive enables Tier 1 applications to read and write both random and sequential data faster. Data centers can store and access important random data up to 10% faster and sequential data up to 21% faster over previous generations, enabling them to process more transactions within a given time period. Providing up to 300GB capacity, the Seagate' Savior 15K.3 drive stores twice the amount of data without increasing the total number hard drives used. This helps data centers keep up with the growth of data while improving storage efficiency. The Savior 15K.3 drive provides Protection Information1 and Self-Encrypting Drive2 options to help companies achieve corporate and/or government security compliance goals. The drive helps protect data from inadvertent change from the moment of creation until the end of life, and Seagate Instant Secure Erase makes drive retirement and repurposing safe, fast and affordable. FIPS Self-Encrypting Drive option meets regulatory data security compliance requirements and is FIPS 140-2 Validated to protect Sensitive but Unclassified and Protected class data. The Savior 15K.3 drive enables OEMs and data centers to standardize on the 2.5-Inch small form factor (SFF), the 6Gb/s SAS interface and SED security, which reduces system complexity and minimizes design, training and inventory expenses.
