Good to know
- Use a SATA 6 Gb/s backplane or HBA and, for encryption features, a TCG-compliant management tool (e.g., enterprise security suites) to unlock ISE and TCG capabilities.
- With a 550 TB/year workload rating and 2 million hours MTBF, this drive sits in Seagate’s enterprise nearline family — suited to heavier duty cycles than desktop-class drives, though below high-end 24×7 mission-critical tiers.
- When ordering, confirm capacity, firmware, and region requirements with your sales contact and ask for current stock and batch details, as enterprise HDD availability and lead times vary.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
