Seagate Enterprise Capacity 2TB 2.5" 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s HDD

The Seagate ST2000NX0273 is a 2 TB enterprise-class hard drive built for organizations that need dependable capacity inside a compact 2.5 in bay. Housed in a chassis that measures 15 mm high, it fits easily into dense server trays or storage arrays where every millimeter counts.

Data moves through a dual-port SAS interface that supports 12 Gb/s links, giving administrators more bandwidth and the option to connect the drive on redundant paths for high availability. The mechanism spins at 7200 rpm, works with a 128 MB cache, and sustains up to 136 MB/s internally while reaching 1.2 GB/s across the bus. An average latency of 4.16 ms helps applications feel responsive even under mixed workloads.

Designed for multi-drive enclosures, the drive includes Seagate RAID Rebuild technology and added vibration tolerance so large arrays can rebuild faster and stay online longer. A 25 G operating shock rating and a 5-year limited warranty further underline its suitability for critical data.

PowerChoice firmware lets administrators place the drive in low-power states, trimming active draw to about 6.02 W and standby use to roughly 1.52 W. This savings becomes significant when dozens or hundreds of drives populate a rack.

The ST2000NX0273 fits naturally in tier-two storage tiers, virtualized environments, SAN and NAS appliances, or any server that needs a balance of capacity, speed, and long-term reliability without moving to a larger 3.5 in slot.
