Smaller, Faster, More Energy-Efcient—and Secure*
Solution designers value the Savvio 10K.3 drive’s design flexibility
because it enables them to provide more competitive solutions
afforded by the smaller size, higher capacity, lower power
consumption, greater performance and greater reliability. The Savvio
10K.3 drive is the innovative market enabler for green/low-power
solutions. And its capacity—up to 300 GB—makes this 2.5-inch drive
the right drive for external storage applications.
The Savvio 10K.3 drive reduces system power consumption and
cooling requirements with PowerTrim technology and is the industry’s
lowest-power 2.5-inch, Tier-1/mission-critical, enterprise-ready drive.
More Robust, With Higher Integrity
The drive supports the new, more robust, SAS 2.0 features to
meet rigorous enterprise requirements (faster data transfers at
6-Gb/s speeds and a higher level of data integrity for interface
communications).
The Savvio 10K.3 drive is the industry’s only third-generation small
form factor enterprise drive and has the industry’s highest field-
proven reliability. It optimizes return on investment with the best
combination of low power, high capacity and high performance
for your customer’s mission-critical Tier 1 systems. And it enables
distributors to standardize on a 2.5-inch form factor with SAS 2.0
(6 Gb/s)—reducing design/support costs by minimizing the need to
design/support disparate drive sizes and interfaces.
The Savvio 10K.3 drive has the industry’s only government-grade,
Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) for 2.5-inch enterprise drives to protect
customers’ data at rest.*
Unied Storage Architecture
By using small form factor drives, a common SAS interface and SED
security capabilities, Seagate Unified Storage architecture delivers
a best-of-breed foundation for powerful yet simple storage solutions
for the data center. Unified Storage architecture:
•Enables superior multi-drive servers and storage solutions that
reduce costs and design complexity for OEMs and system builders
•Lowers TCO while improving ROI by providing large enterprises
and SMBs lower-cost multi-drive servers and storage
•Reduces storage complexity and enables peace of mind for
the IT manager
