Enterprise Storage Drive

The Seagate Constellation ES ST32000444SS is a 2 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for server environments. It spins at 7 200 RPM with a 16 MB cache and connects through a SAS 6 Gb/s interface. The drive has been erased to DoD 5220.22 M standard and tested to a minimum 90 % health rating. It is supplied as a bare drive without formatting or partitioning.

Server Installations Only

This drive suits administrators who need reliable bulk storage in SAS-equipped servers or external arrays. It is not for buyers who require a desktop PC connection, because SAS drives are not compatible with standard desktop motherboards. It is also not for users who want a ready-to-use volume, since the drive arrives unformatted and unpartitioned. The bare-drive packaging means no cables, brackets or mounting hardware are included.

SAS 6 Gb/s Interface

The single specification that decides fitment is the SAS 6 Gb/s interface. Your host controller or backplane must support this exact SAS link speed and the 3.5-inch form factor. Without a compatible SAS HBA or RAID controller the drive cannot be connected to the system.
