Capable of reaching transfer speeds of up to 6 gigabytes-per-second, Seagate's own Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology minimizes IT drive retirement for optimized efficiency and data protection. Influenced by industrial server drives, the Constellation.2 is designed to handle 24/7 operation, and possesses a 1.4-hour mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) rating for additional content security. Used in series alongside other HDDs, the unit can maximize overall data center footprint up to 76 terabytes-per-square-foot, with its efficient build design minimizing ecological impact at under 4 watts when idle.
