Enterprise SAS SSD for write-intensive workloads

The Seagate 1200 SSD ST800FM0053 is an 800GB enterprise solid-state drive with a 2.5-inch form factor and a SAS 12Gb/s interface. It uses MLC memory to deliver up to 110,000 random read IOPS and 40,000 random write IOPS for consistent performance. The drive includes Self-Encrypting Drive technology and power-loss protection for data integrity.

Suited for high-IOPS enterprise applications

This drive fits demanding enterprise applications with complex, write-intensive and mixed workloads such as high-performance computing and online transaction processing. It leverages existing SAS infrastructures and provides redundant, failover I/O communication paths for critical production systems. It is not suited for buyers who need a different interface protocol or a capacity other than 800GB.

SAS 12Gb/s interface with 800GB MLC capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the SAS 12Gb/s interface combined with 800GB of MLC flash. Your server or storage array must support 12Gb/s SAS connectivity to use this drive at its rated speed. The 2.5-inch, 7.00mm height form factor must match the drive bay dimensions.
