Seagate Exos 7E2000 1TB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Nearline Hard Drive

The Seagate ST1000NX0303 is a 1TB nearline hard drive built for data centers and professional storage systems that need dependable capacity in limited space. Housed in a 2.5 inch small form factor, the drive lets administrators maximize rack density without giving up the familiarity and simplicity of a SATA backplane.

With a 6 Gb/s SATA interface and a spindle speed of 7200 RPM, the drive sustains transfers up to 136 MB per second. A 128 MB cache smooths burst activity, keeping virtual machines responsive and helping database logs write quickly during peak traffic.

The Exos 7E2000 platform is engineered for continuous 24 × 7 operation and supports workloads up to 550 TB each year, making it a solid choice for private cloud clusters, content delivery nodes, and surveillance retention servers. An MTBF rating of 1.4 million hours and a 5 year limited warranty reinforce its suitability for long-term deployment.

PowerChoice technology offers power-saving states that reduce energy draw during periods of low activity, while Seagate Secure features give organizations a path to hardware-based data protection. In environments where efficiency and security are as critical as capacity, these options provide straightforward value.

Whether you are expanding a branch-office server, scaling a dense SAN shelf, or adding a cold-storage tier to a hyperscale rack, the ST1000NX0303 delivers the balance of speed, durability, and efficiency that enterprise applications demand.
