Lower watts/GB ratio helps achieve reduced power and
cooling costs while optimizing capacity requirements.
•
Higher performance with fewer drives—reducing support
infrastructure, physical space requirements and storage
management costs
•
The highest reliability of any 3.5-inch drive, with increased
system reliability due to the need for fewer drives
Highest Reliability
•
Seagate continues to focus on reliability and data
protection. MTBF is an industry-leading 1.6 million hours.
•
Seagate-exclusive enhanced Error Correction Code
better maintains performance throughout the life of the
drive and reduces the probability of lost data.
•
The third generation of Seagate-exclusive Background
Media Scan proactively scans the media for potential
defects during drive idle time. It enables incipient errors
to be corrected before data is lost.
•
