Description
Product overview of the Seagate ST91000642SS
The Seagate ST91000642SS is a high-performance internal hard drive designed for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. With a capacity of 1 terabyte (TB), a rotational speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM), and a 6 gigabits per second (Gbps) SAS interface, this drive is optimized for high-performance and reliability in demanding environments.
Design and Specifications
The Seagate ST91000642SS has a compact 2.5-inch form factor, making it suitable for use in space-constrained environments such as blade servers and storage arrays. It uses a SAS interface with a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gbps, which is commonly used in enterprise-level systems and provides reliable, high-speed data transfer.
The drive has a 64MB cache buffer, which helps to improve its performance by caching frequently accessed data. The 7,200 RPM rotational speed of the drive allows for fast access to data and helps to improve system performance.
Capacity
The Seagate ST91000642SS has a capacity of 1 TB, making it ideal for storing large amounts of data such as databases, multimedia content, and email archives. With the increasing amounts of data that businesses need to store, having a high-capacity drive like the ST91000642SS is essential.
Performance
The Seagate ST91000642SS is designed for high-performance applications that require fast data transfer rates and low latency. Its SAS interface and 7,200 RPM rotational speed allow for fast data transfer rates and low latency, making it ideal for applications such as data warehousing, online transaction processing (OLTP), and virtualization.
The drive’s 64MB cache buffer helps to improve performance by caching frequently accessed data, reducing the number of times the drive needs to access the disk platters. This can help to reduce latency and improve overall system performance.
Reliability
The Seagate ST91000642SS is designed to be highly reliable and durable, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1.4 million hours. This means that the drive is expected to operate reliably for an average of 1.4 million hours before experiencing a failure.
The drive also features Seagate’s PowerChoice technology, which allows the drive to operate in a low-power mode when not in use. This can help to reduce power consumption and extend the life of the drive.
Compatibility
The Seagate ST91000642SS is compatible with a wide range of enterprise-level servers and storage systems. It supports the SAS interface, which is commonly used in enterprise-level systems, and is designed to be hot-swappable, allowing for easy replacement without having to shut down the system.
Advanced Data Protection
The Seagate ST91000642SS incorporates several advanced data protection features to ensure data integrity and prevent data loss. The drive features Seagate’s Protection Information (PI) technology, which adds an extra layer of data protection by ensuring that data is written correctly to the disk.
The drive also features Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology, which provides hardware-based encryption to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. This can help businesses to comply with data protection regulations and prevent data breaches.
Enterprise-Class Features
The Seagate ST91000642SS includes several enterprise-class features to ensure high performance and reliability in demanding environments. The drive features Seagate’s RAID Rebuild technology, which helps to reduce the time required to rebuild a failed RAID array. This can help to minimize downtime and improve system availability.
The drive also features Seagate’s PowerChoice technology, which allows businesses to customize power settings to optimize power consumption and reduce energy costs.
