Seagate Enterprise Capacity 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM SAS Internal HDD

The Seagate ST2000NM0045 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive that provides 2TB of enterprise capacity and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It is built for organizations that need dependable, always-on storage for databases, virtual machines, analytics, or large-scale backup.

A 7200 RPM mechanism works with a 128MB cache to deliver sustained transfers up to 215MB per second, while average latency remains close to 4.16 milliseconds. These performance levels keep multi-drive RAID sets responsive and consistent when traffic peaks.

The drive is engineered for continuous operation. A workload rate limit of 550 terabytes per year and a mean time between failures of two million hours support 24x7 workloads in dense racks or remote installations that cannot tolerate downtime.

Security is handled at the hardware level through Seagate Secure technology. The self-encrypting drive protects data in flight and at rest, and the instant secure erase feature lets administrators retire or redeploy hardware without lengthy overwrite procedures.

Power draw stays modest at about 6.3 watts during read or write activity and around 4.75 watts when idle, helping data centers manage heat and energy costs across large fleets of drives.

Typical deployments include application servers that host critical databases, surveillance recorders that archive high-definition video, and backup appliances that require cost-effective capacity paired with reliable throughput.
