Constellation™
2.5-inch Tier 2/nearline drive
with the lowest enterprise power usage
Data Sheet
500 GB and 160 GB •7200 RPM •SAS 6Gb/s,
SAS 3Gb/s, SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s
Key Advantages
•Industry’s first 2.5-inch, 15-mm enterprise-class nearline drive for dense,
space-constrained data centers
•Lowest operating power and enhanced PowerChoice™host-selectable
power options for unprecedented power savings (up to 54 percent—as low
as 1.1 W) during slow or idle periods
•The industry’s highest-reliability 7200-RPM drive, designed for 24x7
operation
•Best-in-class rotational vibration tolerance ensures unrivalled performance
in high spindle-density applications, and multi-drive firmware maximizes
system availability.
•Choose SAS for the seamless Tier 2 enterprise experience, with improved
data integrity. SAS 2.0 enables faster data access (6Gb/s) and larger
topologies over greater distances, increasing system scalability, data
throughput and connectivity.
•Government-grade Self-Encrypting Drive security available on SAS
models.
Best-Fit Applications
•Storage-hungry business applications
•Storage area networks (SAN) and network attached storage (NAS)
•Maximum-capacity servers and blade servers
•Rich media content storage—audio, video, image
•Reference and compliance data storage
•Enterprise backup and restore—D2D, virtual tape
•Collaboration—email, messaging
•Infrastructure—Web, print, file

Built On Seagate Unified Storage architecture
•Small form factor—15 mm z-height provides a dense,
eco-friendly, robust platform for easy integration.
•SAS 2.0—6 Gb/s enables larger topologies at higher
throughput and provides a higher signal strength over
longer distances for improved scalability.
•Self-Encrypting Drive option for government-grade
security.
Enhanced Choices With Enterprise Capabilities
•PowerChoice host-selectable power options (1
through 4) further reduce power consumption to an
unprecedented low of 1.1 W.
•With a choice of either SATA 3Gb/s or SAS 6Gb/s
interfaces, utilizes perpendicular recording technology
to deliver the industry’s highest-capacity 2.5-inch
nearline drive
•Enterprise-class firmware features and best-in-class
rotational vibration tolerance maximizes system
availability and performance in multi-drive systems.
Seagate proprietary Workload Management technology
helps systems keep drives cool.
•The best 7200-RPM reliability for 24x7 business-critical
applications with an MTBF of 1.2M hours and an
nonrecoverable error rate of 1 sector per 10E15—from a
trusted source and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
