Seagate Constellation ES:

Seamless Enterprise Hard Drives

High-Capacity Storage Designed for Seamless Enterprise Integration

The Seagate Constellation ES drive is the fifth-generation 3.5-inch hard drive for capacity-optimized 7200-RPM enterprise environments. It enables cost-effective, highly efficient enterprise storage solutions with high capacities, best-in-class reliability, leading 6Gb/s performance, optimized power and cooling, and government-grade data security-all backed by world-class Seagate enterprise service and support.

The Constellation ES drives are a family of high-capacity enterprise-class hard drives capable of storing an unprecedented 76TB per square foot (in its 2TB capacity), maximizing data center floor space at a low $/GB. Be completely assured knowing this nearline drive optimizes your 3.5-inch chassis performance with the lowest power draw (less than 7.3W), 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 first drive that offers both the industry-leading 6Gb/s SAS interface- with its proven scalability, performance and enterprise features-and the traditional SATA interface for seamless enterprise integration. With large capacity drives comes longer RAID rebuild times, but with the new Seagate RAID Rebuild™ development platform, customers can significantly shorten rebuild times and minimize productivity losses while protecting critical data.

The Constellation ES drive extends the industry's best field-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 capacity-optimized drive offers an MTBF of 1.2 million hours for economical, enterprise-grade reliability. The Constellation ES 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 first 3.5-inch nearline drive to implement the new SAS 2.0 feature set and is the world's first 3.5-inch nearline drive to operate at 6Gb/s transfer rates in both SAS and SATA interfaces.
