The Seagate ST900MM0168 is a 900 GB enterprise-grade internal hard disk drive engineered for continuous, mission-critical server and storage deployments. With a 2.5-inch small form factor and a high-speed SAS-3 (12 Gb/s) interface, it delivers a strong blend of performance, durability, and efficiency required in modern data center, SAN, NAS, and RAID configurations.

Key Features

• Capacity: 900 GB of usable storage, ideal for tiered storage pools, caching tiers, or high-availability applications.

• Form Factor: 2.5-inch Small Form Factor (SFF), saving rack space and enabling dense server configurations.

• Interface: SAS-3 12 Gb/s (Serial Attached SCSI) for high throughput and low latency.

• Spindle Speed: 10 000 RPM for faster average access times and improved I/O responsiveness compared to lower-speed drives.

• Cache: 128 MB multisegmented cache buffer to accelerate frequently accessed data and reduce command wait times.

• Performance: Sustained data transfer rates typically from roughly 215 MB/s down to 108 MB/s across the media surface.

Enterprise-Class Reliability

• 24×7 Operation: Designed for continuous operation with an MTBF around 2 million hours and engineered for heavy workloads.

• Workload Rating: Built to handle rigorous enterprise workloads that demand high availability and consistent performance.

• Dual Ports: Supports dual SAS interface ports for increased connectivity options and path redundancy.

Advanced Technology and Data Integrity

• RAID Rebuild Technology: Helps speed up and safeguard RAID rebuilds after a drive failure.

• Protection Information (PI): Helps maintain data integrity and reduce risk of silent data corruption in enterprise storage stacks.

• Shock/Vibration Tolerance: Enterprise-grade design includes enhanced tolerance to mechanical shock and vibration typical of dense server environments.
