1200.2 SSD Engineered for Enterprise and
Cloud Users Requiring Ultra-fast Performance and a Wide Range of
Capacity and Endurance Options in a Single Platform
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, today announced the availability of the 1200.2 Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) Solid State Drive (SSD). The Seagate® 1200.2
SAS SSD is the first product to result from a strategic alliance
between Seagate and Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU), announced
in February 2015.
“Enterprise and cloud users face record growing storage demands
challenging the performance of their IT systems to churn through
mass amounts of data, while being restricted by opex/capex
expenditure limits,” said Brett Pemble, vice president of flash
products, Seagate cloud systems and electronics solutions. “As our
partners and customers depend on Seagate flash technologies to meet
these challenges, we are leveraging our collaboration and
innovation with Micron to exceed their expectations.”
The framework established between Seagate and Micron has led to
the development and production of this next-generation,
high-capacity SAS SSD platform. It is the first 12
gigabits-per-second (Gb/s) SAS device to optimize dual channel
throughput with up to 1800 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) sequential
reads and offer multiple endurance choices within a single hardware
and firmware design. These advantages engineered for the 1200.2 SAS
SSD ensure it will deliver ultra-fast performance to match the
needs of specific enterprise applications and workloads.
The Seagate 1200.2 SAS SSD is engineered for original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) and system builder partners who design and
build scalable, modular storage solutions for enterprise
applications. It's also available to enterprise end users who want
to directly upgrade and expand their existing SAS storage
infrastructure and investment. For enterprise and cloud customers
with critical production systems requiring high data availability,
the drive delivers the data integrity required in the event of an
unexpected power loss. The Seagate 1200.2 SAS SSD provides superior
data protection and reliability that protects data from undetected,
unintentional corruption and prevents unauthorized access to the
drive and stored data with three levels of security.
“The Seagate-Micron collaboration brings together some of the
best minds in the dynamic world of storage—Seagate’s SAS expertise
combined with Micron’s flash leadership is enabling us to truly
redefine the future of enterprise storage development,” said Darren
Thomas, vice president of storage, Micron. “The first example of
this relationship is the introduction of a data-intensive SAS
solution, expanding our SSD portfolio to meet the needs of our
enterprise customers.”
Additional features include the following:
- Industry-leading storage density range
including 4TB-class capacity in a 2.5-inch form factor
- Dual-port SAS interface configurable to
provide up to 1800 MB/s sequential read performance or high data
availability with failover redundancy and no single point of
failure.
- Next generation Power Loss Protection
(PLP) maintains high data integrity to prevent loss of user data in
flight in the event of unexpected power interruptions.
- Superior data protection and
reliability, achieved by combining full internal and external data
path protection and multi-layered error recovery technology with
advanced error detection/correction encoding optimized for NAND
media.
- Three levels of security including
secure diagnostics and download (SD&D), Seagate SecureTM
Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) and FIPS drive.
Public demonstrations of the 1200.2 SAS SSD can be seen in the
Seagate booth #505 at the Flash Memory Summit in Santa Clara, CA
next week.
Pricing and Availability
The Seagate 1200.2 SAS SSD will ship to channel partners in
August 2015.
