Seagate Technology has announced a new Solid State Drive (SSD) family that joins two 15K and 10K hard disk drives (HDD) and a 3TB HDD for enterprise storage.

Kurt Richarz, Seagate EVP of Product Line Management, said, “Seagate’s new family of enterprise storage solutions meets the diverse storage needs of high growth application environments, whether it’s fast transactional database servers, bulk storage and archiving, or everything in between.”

The Pulsar.2 SSD provides up to 800GB capacity and supports both native 6Gb/s SAS and SATA 6Gb/s interfaces.

The Pulsar XT.2 is a 2.5-inch, SLC-based, native 6Gb/s SAS, up to 400GB enterprise SSD from Seagate. The Pulsar XT.2 is the fastest drive in the Seagate portfolio, with sustainable random reads at 48K and writes at 22K IOPS and sequential reads at 360MB/sec and writes at 300MB/sec.

Seagate’s latest-generation Savvio 2.5-inch HDDs offer a 10K-rpm drive family that provides four capacity points (900GB, 600GB, 450GB, 300GB) on a single platform, and a choice of 6Gb/s SAS or 4Gb Fibre Channel interfaces.

The Savvio 15K.3 is Seagate’s highest performing HDD available at 300GB and 146GB.

The new Constellation ES.2 HDD offers 3TB capacities, for both server and bulk storage solutions, maximising the storage footprint by supporting up to 10.6TB per square metre.

It also introduces a new Seagate RAID Rebuild feature for enterprise HDDs. With large capacity drives comes longer RAID recovery times, but with the new RAID Rebuild development platform, Seagate promises reduced hours of lost productivity during RAID recoveries.

The Constellation ES.2 is offered in both 6Gb/s Serial ATA (SATA) and 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interfaces.
