Seagate 9ZM175-036 Constellation 2TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6GBPS 128 MB Buffer Enterprise Hard Drive | New Bulk Pack

The performance of the Seagate Constellation 2TB hard drive is determined by a combination of its capacity, spin speed, buffer size, and interface.

• The 2TB capacity allows for a large amount of data to be stored, which can be accessed quickly and easily.
• The 7200 RPM spin speed allows the drive to quickly access and transfer data.
• The 128 MB buffer size allows for quick data access and improves overall drive performance.
• The SATA 6 Gbps interface provides a fast data transfer rate of up to 6 Gbps, which is faster than the previous SATA 3 Gbps interface.

In terms of random access performance, the drive has an average latency of 4.16 ms and a seek time of 8.5/9.5 ms (read/write)

Reliability

Reliability is an important consideration when it comes to enterprise hard drives, as they are often used to store and access large amounts of critical data. The Seagate Constellation 2TB hard drive is designed to be reliable, which can help to ensure that data is not lost or corrupted.

The drive has a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 1.4 million hours, which indicates a high level of reliability. This rating is calculated based on the drive’s expected failure rate, and is an indicator of how long the drive is expected to last before experiencing a failure.

The drive also features a number of technologies that can help to protect data and improve reliability, such as:

• Seagates AcuTrac technology, which uses advanced servo technology to improve the accuracy and stability of the read/write head, which can help to reduce the risk of data loss due to head crashes.
• Seagate’s Secure Electronic Erase (SEE) feature, which allows the user to securely erase all data on the drive, which can help to protect data and improve reliability.
• Seagate’s RAID Rebuild feature, which allows the user to rebuild a RAID array in the event of a drive failure, which can help to improve reliability and protect data.

Power Efficiency

Power efficiency is an important consideration when it comes to enterprise hard drives, as they can be used in large data centers with many hard drives running simultaneously. The Seagate Constellation 2TB hard drive is designed to be power efficient, which can help to reduce overall energy consumption and costs.

The drive consumes 7.4 watts when idle and 9.4 watts when operating. This low power consumption allows the drive to operate efficiently without generating excessive heat. The drive also supports the standard Advanced Power Management (APM) and Power-up in Standby (PUIS) features which can help to further reduce power consumption.

Additionally, the drive supports Seagate’s PowerChoice technology which allows the user to fine-tune the power consumption to match the workload. This can help to reduce power consumption and costs, while ensuring that the drive remains reliable and performs at optimal levels.
