Seagate (NASDAQ:STX) today introduced Constellation.2™, the
industry’s first 2.5-inch enterprise-class hard drive to reach a
record 1TB capacity. The Constellation.2 drive is designed for
server storage applications and offers a solid combination of high
capacity, leading 6Gb/s performance, superior data integrity, and
best-in-class low power consumption.

The Constellation.2 drive is designed for system builders and
OEMs who want to offer competitive, feature-rich, bulk storage
solutions for a sustainable future. The Constellation.2 drive is
fit for use in a range of applications in Directed Attached Storage
(DAS), Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network
(SAN) environments, from small-to-midsized businesses to the
largest enterprise data centers storing and hosting data to the
cloud.
“Data center managers continue to seek out more efficient
storage technologies without sacrificing performance, while still
meeting capacity growth requirements,” said John Rydning, research
director for IDC. “Reaching the 1TB capacity in a small form factor
design gives IT managers more options to meet capacity requirements
with efficient storage platforms. IDC expects the use of
capacity-optimized drives like Seagate’s 1TB Constellation.2™ to
increase by more than 50% from 2010 to 2014.”
The Constellation.2 drive is offered in capacity choices of
250GB, 500GB, and 1TB, and with 6Gb/s SATA or 6Gb/s SAS interface
options. Its advanced second-generation design provides improved
data integrity with the new T10 Protection Information standard and
an increase in reliability (1.4 million hours MTBF). With a Self
Encrypting Drive (SED) option, data security is covered throughout
the entire drive lifecycle.
“The Constellation.2™ underscores Seagate’s commitment to its
customers to deliver industry-leading solutions that meet the
demands of IT professionals today and tomorrow,” said Carla
Kennedy, vice president of Product Line Management, Seagate. “With
its class-leading reliability, record-breaking capacity, and
improvements made along its entire range of features,
Constellation.2™ drive is a perfect solution for dense server and
storage systems.”
“The enhanced capacity and reliability of the Seagate
Constellation.2™ drives will help deliver even greater value to
Dell’s customers focused on their ever-increasing storage needs,”
said Lewie Newcomb, executive director, Storage Core Technologies,
Dell. “The Dell PowerVault storage enclosures and PowerEdge servers
are being enabled for even more powerful storage alternatives using
these energy-efficient, capacity-optimized, and
performance-enhanced 2.5-inch drives.”
Dell expects to ship systems with this drive starting in late
December.
Seagate Unified Storage architecture delivers
long-term business sustainability
Constellation.2 family fits within the Seagate Unified Storage
architecture, which converges best-of-breed technologies (Serial
Attached SCSI, Small Form Factor and Self-Encrypting Drives) into a
foundation for flexible, powerful and simple storage that boosts
business and operational efficiency while reducing cost and
complexity. Historically, the variety of drive interfaces, form
factors and now, security solutions, can add complexity and cost
for both IT professionals and OEMs – all which the Seagate Unified
Storage architecture model resolves.
Constellation.2 drives are currently shipping to OEMs and the
worldwide distribution channel. For more information about the
