Constellation
2.5-inch Tier 2/nearline drive
with the lowest enterprise power usage
500GB and 160GB • 7200 RPM • SAS 6Gb/s,
SAS 3Gb/s, SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s
Key Advantages
•
First 2.5-inch, 15mm nearline drive for space-constrained data centers
•
Lowest operating power and enhanced PowerChoice™ power options for
unprecedented power savings (up to 54%—as low as 1.1W) during idle
•
The highest-reliability 7200-RPM drive, designed for 24x7 operation
•
Best-in-class rotational vibration tolerance ensures unrivalled performance
in high spindle-density applications, and multi-drive firmware maximizes
system availability.
•
SAS offers seamless Tier 2 enterprise experience, with improved data
integrity. SAS 2.0 enables faster data access and larger topologies,
increasing system scalability, data throughput and connectivity.
•
Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) option cuts IT drive retirement expenses while
securely protecting data
•
FIPS Self-Encrypting Drive option provides all the benefits of SED and
is NIST certified to meet U.S., Canada and U.K. federal data encryption
compliance requirements.

Constellation®
2.5-inch Tier 2/nearline drive
with the lowest enterprise power usage
Built on Seagate Unified Storage architecture
•
Small form factor—15mm z-height provides a dense,
eco-friendly, robust platform for easy integration.
•
SAS 2.0—6Gb/s enables larger topologies at higher
throughput and provides a higher signal strength over
longer distances for improved scalability.
Enhanced Choices With Enterprise Capabilities
•
PowerChoice host-selectable power options (1 to 4)
reduce power consumption to a low of 1.1W.
•
Both SATA 3Gb/s and SAS 6Gb/s interfaces utilize
perpendicular recording technology to deliver the
industry’s highest-capacity 2.5-inch nearline drive.
•
Enterprise-class firmware features and best-in-class
rotational vibration tolerance maximizes system
availability and performance in multi-drive systems.
Seagate proprietary Workload Management™
technology helps systems keep drives cool.
•
The best 7200-RPM reliability for 24x7 business-critical
applications with an MTBF of 1.2M hours and an
nonrecoverable error rate of 1 sector per 10E15—from a
trusted source and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
Strong Enough for National Security
1
The Constellation (SAS) drive is available in SED or FIPS
SED models; both eliminate the need to overwrite or
physically destroy drives, enable secure return of drives for
warranty or expired lease purposes, and allow organizations
to securely repurpose or sell hard drives. For added
physical security and more stringent regulatory compliance
needs, the FIPS SED model is FIPS 140-2 Validated™ for
use with sensitive but unclassified or protected (A or B)
class data.
Seagate Secure™ encryption models help OEMs and
system builders gain competitive advantage, differentiate
solutions (with strong data security), sell to new customers
(that require strong data security), and protect brand equity
(and customer confidence).
