Seagate Nytro 3000 XS7680SE70045 7.68 TB enterprise SSD

SKU CH-S738-2QT8T MPN XS7680SE70045

7.68 TB enterprise SAS SSD rated for 1 DWPD and 14,000 TBW with 2,200 MB/s sequential reads

  • 68 TB capacity fits large datasets in a single 2.5-inch drive
  • 2200 MB/s sequential read accelerates virtualised server workloads
  • 12 Gb/s SAS dual-port interface ensures 24×7 data availability
  • 14000 TB written endurance supports heavy write-intensive applications
  • Seagate Secure encryption options protect mission-critical data at rest

Capacity and role

The Seagate Nytro 3000 XS7680SE70045 provides 7.68 TB of storage in a 2.5-inch enterprise SSD built for server and storage-system deployments. It targets workloads such as virtualisation, OLTP databases, software-defined storage, all-flash arrays and caching or tiering layers. The drive carries a 1 DWPD endurance rating and 14000 TB total bytes written.

Sustained-load behaviour

A 12 Gb/s SAS interface with dual ports supports continuous 24×7 operation at up to 2200 MB/s maximum read transfer rate. Low latency and high quality of service maintain responsiveness under heavy, persistent I/O rather than brief bursts. SeaChest utilities allow ongoing health monitoring and management throughout the service life.

Interface practical limits

The SAS connection tops out at 12 Gb/s, so aggregate throughput cannot exceed that signalling rate regardless of drive capability. Dual ports provide path redundancy but do not double the single-port bandwidth ceiling. Encryption options include Seagate Secure with Secure Download and Diagnostics, SED and SED FIPS 140-2 for data protection compliance.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 12 Gb/s SAS SSD draw during continuous 24×7 operation?

The supplier data does not quote an active power figure for the XS7680SE70045; only the 12 Gb/s SAS interface, 2200 MB/s maximum read rate and 1 DWPD endurance are specified.

Does the drive need a SAS backplane or HBA with dual-port support to operate?

Yes, the Nytro 3000 uses a 12 Gb/s SAS interface with dual ports, so a compatible SAS HBA, RAID controller or backplane that supports dual-port SAS connections is required.

Will the 2.5-inch 15 mm SAS SSD fit in a server chassis that only accepts 7 mm drives?

No, this model is 15 mm thick, so it requires a 2.5-inch bay that accommodates 15 mm drives; a 7 mm-only chassis will not accept it.
