Savvio®10K.3
Lowest-power, high-capacity 2.5-inch drive
for the enterprise
Product Overview

Lower power, higher performance
The Seagate Savvio 10K.3 drive offers the best
combination of power efficiency and enterprise
performance, with up to 300 GB of capacity
for mainstream server and external storage
applications for the enterprise. The Savvio 10K.3
drive with PowerTrim technology uses 75 percent
less power than a 3.5-inch 15K drive for the
lowest power profile of any Tier 1 mission-critical
drive. It is 70 percent smaller than 3.5-inch drives,
enabling more system airflow, which results in
lower cooling costs. This third-generation Savvio
drive gives you more than twice the number of
drives over 3.5-inch products within the same
rack configuration and delivers a staggering 60
percent system-level performance increase.
This is especially important in high-performance
and blade servers demanding optimized RAID
performance per U. These 2.5-inch advantages
translate into greater overall value and reduced
total cost of ownership for IT organizations and
administrators who wish to optimize their data
center’s power and performance efficiency.

Ready for high-end networks
The industry’s first 2.5-inch drive to implement
the new SAS 2.0 feature set and the world’s first
drive to operate at 6-Gb/s transfer rates, the
Savvio 10K.3 drive is ideally suited for use in
high-end network storage applications. The SAS
2.0 feature set and 6-Gb/s transfer rate support
larger topologies by connecting more expanders,
host bus adapters and RAID controllers within or
across more storage arrays, by communicating
over longer distances with high signal integrity,
and by moving data two times faster, thereby
doubling data throughput.
Government-grade security available*
Delivering on the Seagate commitment to add
security features throughout its product portfolio,
the Savvio 10K.3 drives are offered with an SED
option that provides government-grade data-at-
rest protection through each drive’s entire life
cycle.*
