Seagate Enterprise Capacity 2TB 2.5" 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s Enterprise HDD

The Seagate ST2000NX0433 is a 2TB enterprise hard drive that fits the 2.5 inch bay used in many servers and storage arrays. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a 12Gb/s SAS interface, giving administrators the bandwidth and quick response they expect from modern data center hardware.

Its 128MB cache smooths out bursty traffic, while support for continuous 24/7 operation makes it a dependable base for dense storage shelves. Seagate includes Background Media Scan and Protection Information so the drive can quietly check itself and flag problems before data is at risk. When a rebuild is required, Seagate RAID Rebuild reduces recovery time, helping arrays return to full redundancy sooner.

PowerChoice settings and an improved mechanical design deliver more than 50 percent better watts per terabyte than the earlier generation, yet sequential performance still sees an 18 percent gain. The combination of efficiency and speed makes the drive a smart fit for virtual machine clusters, big data nodes, and mixed workload servers in finance, healthcare, or enterprise IT where every watt and input or output operation matters.
