Description
Product overview of the Seagate ST9300503SS
The Seagate ST9300503SS Savvio 300GB 10K RPM SAS 6GBPS 16MB Cache Hard Drive is a high-performance internal hard drive designed for enterprise-level applications that require fast data access and high reliability. With a capacity of 300GB and a rotational speed of 10,000 RPM, this drive is optimized for use in high-speed storage arrays and data centers.
Design and Specifications
The Seagate ST9300503SS Savvio 300GB has a 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 16MB cache buffer, which helps to improve its performance by caching frequently accessed data. The 10,000 RPM rotational speed of the drive allows for fast access to data and helps to improve system performance.
Capacity
The Seagate ST9300503SS Savvio 300GB has a capacity of 300GB, which may seem small compared to larger capacity drives on the market. However, for certain applications that require high-speed access to frequently accessed data, having a smaller capacity drive with a high RPM can provide a significant performance boost.
Performance
The Seagate ST9300503SS Savvio 300GB is designed for high-performance applications that require fast data transfer rates and low latency. Its SAS interface and 10,000 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 16MB 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 ST9300503SS Savvio 300GB is designed to be highly reliable and durable, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1.6 million hours. This means that the drive is expected to operate reliably for an average of 1.6 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 ST9300503SS Savvio 300GB 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 ST9300503SS Savvio 300GB 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 ST9300503SS Savvio 300GB 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 data in the event of a disk failure.
