2.5-Inch Enterprise • 146 GB and 73 GB • 10K RPM • 3-Gb/s SAS

The 2.5-inch Seagate Savvio 10K.2 enterprise hard drive offers up to 146-GB capacity and has the highest reliability rating in the world. Savvio 10K.2 drives are 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch drives, enabling more drives per system for increased performance per U (vertical usable space) and optimized performance per watt. The Savvio drive also uses less power and enables more airflow to cool faster processors.

Key Features and Benefits 

• Seagate® Savvio® 10K.2 drives are 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch 10K drives and enable cooler, faster and much more reliable systems.
• The Savvio 10K.2 drive consumes less power, creates less heat to cool and enables more airflow to cool processors.
• The Savvio 10K.2 has a higher reliability rating than any 3.5-inch drive and the best nonrecoverable error rate, improved by a factor of 10, which rigorously safeguards data.
• More drives per system than 3.5-inch drives allow RAID 5, or mirroring with hot spares, in 1U servers. Savvio 10K.2 drives bring enterprise-class reliability to blade servers.
• The Savvio 2.5-inch form factor enables integration of more drives into smaller, more space-efficient chassis sizes to deliver higher IOPS/U than conventional 3.5-inch systems, and the smaller form factor allows more memory in the system to match faster processors.

Best-Fit Applications
The Savvio 10K.2 drive is designed for mainstream enterprise applications:

• Email/collaboration
• Database
• Transaction processing
• Rack and tower servers
• Blade servers
• Storage arrays
• Space-constrained specialty applications

Product Description

The Seagate Savvio 10K.2 hard drive is 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch drives, consuming less power and enabling more airflow to cool processors. The 2.5-inch Savvio 10K.2 drive enables more drives per system, increasing RAID options and performance per U. With a record-breaking reliability rating and the best nonrecoverable error rate in the world, the Savvio 10K.2 drive delivers high reliability and improved performance density in a cooler running system. The Savvio 10K.2 drive is available in 73-GB and 146-GB capacities with a 3-Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface. For all these reasons, Savvio is fast becoming the drive of choice for enterprise servers.
