Data Sheet
Savvio 10K.2
2.5-inch enterprise hard drive
146 and 73 GB • 10K RPM • 3-Gbit/sec Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS)
Key Advantages
• The Seagate® Savvio® family is fast becoming the drive of choice for
enterprise systems. Savvio drives enable cooler, faster and much more
reliable systems than 3.5-inch enterprise drives.
• The 2.5-inch enterprise drive is 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch drives,
using less power, requiring less cooling and enabling more airfl ow to cool
processors.
• The Savvio drive’s smaller size enables faster seek times and more drives
per system, increasing performance per U. It also allows room for more
memory cards in the system to match faster processors.
• The Savvio 10K.2 drive sets a new record for the highest reliability rating
and also has the best nonrecoverable error rate, improved by a factor of
10, to rigorously safeguard data.
• The Savvio 10K.2 drive enables more drives per system, allowing RAID 5,
or mirroring with hot spares, in 1U servers. The Savvio 10K.2 drives brings
enterprise-class reliability to blade servers.
Best-Fit Applications
• Email/collaboration
• File and print
• Database
• Transaction processing
• Rack and tower servers
• Blade servers
• Storage arrays
• Space-constrained specialty applications
Savvio 10K.2
2.5-inch enterprise hard drive
The Savvio 10K.2 drive delivers higher reliability and greater
performance density in a cooler-running system.
Cooler
• The 2.5-inch enterprise drive is 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch
drives, enabling more airfl ow to cool processors.
• The smaller size enables the Savvio 10K.2 drive to consume at
least 20 percent less power than any 3.5-inch 10K drive, reducing
power costs.
• The Savvio 10K.2 creates less heat, lowering system temperatures
and reducing cooling costs.
Faster
• The Savvio 10K.2 drive’s 70 percent smaller size enables integration
of more drives into smaller, more space-effi cient systems to deliver
higher performance per U than classic 3.5-inch systems.
• Seek times over 10 percent faster than all other 10K 3.5-inch drives
enable exceptional random I/O performance.
• The Savvio 10K.2 drive has over 40 percent faster sequential
performance than the last-generation Savvio drive.
More Reliable
• The Savvio 10K.2 drive sets a new record for the highest reliability
rating in the world and is offered by a trusted partner.
• The Savvio 10K.2 drive uses perpendicular recording to comfortably
deliver 146-GB capacity and has the best nonrecoverable error rate,
improved by a factor of 10, to rigorously safeguard data.
• The Savvio 10K.2 drive enables more drives per system, allowing
RAID 5 in 1U servers, or allowing mirroring with hot spares in
1U servers. The Savvio 10K.2 drive brings enterprise-class
performance and reliability to blade servers.
