The Constellation.2 drive, the most energy efficient enterprise drives on the market along with its high-capacity and enterprise reliability, provides a sustainable solution for your expanding data storage needs. Designed to meet and exceed expectations of your power envelope, the Constellation.2 drive allows you to come in under budget. Ideally suited for use in both server and networked storage solutions in space-constrained IT environments, the Constellation.2 drive allows you to design small and deliver BIG.
Robust Performance with a Minimal Footprint
The Constellation.2 drive features 6Gb/s SAS with improved data integrity, scalability and fastest data access or SATA 6Gb/s for economical 7200-RPM performance. Industry’s capacity-optimized drive for dense, space-constrained data centers allows you to store twice as much data in the same footprint.
Enhanced Reliability
The Constellation.2 enterprise drive features a mean-time-between-failures (MTBF) rating of 1.4M hours and an unmatched annualized failure rate (AFR) of 0.62% to deliver the industry’s highest level of reliability for a 24×7 7200-RPM nearline drive.
Energy-Saving
The Constellation.2 drive operates at fewer than 6.4W on average—the lowest operating power in the industry—saving up to 41% over traditional 3.5-inch drives. It saves up to 54% more energy during slow or idle periods with the enhanced PowerChoice technology feature. Workload Management technology helps systems keep drives cool.
Reliable Performance
Best-in-class rotational vibration tolerance ensures unrivaled performance in high spindle-density applications, and multi-drive firmware maximizes system availability.
Government-grade Self-Encrypting Drive Security Option Available
TCG- compliant, Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) security option cuts IT drive retirement expenses while securely protecting data. (Not available in all models or countries. Requires TCG-compliant host or controller support.)
