Robust Performance with a Minimal FootprintThe 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 ReliabilityThe 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-SavingThe 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 PerformanceBest-in-class rotational vibration tolerance ensures unrivaled performance in high spindle-density applications, and multi-drive firmware maximizes system availability.
