Enterprise SAS SSD for servers

The Seagate Nytro 3031 XS960SE70014 is a 960GB 2.5-inch solid state drive built for enterprise servers and storage arrays. It connects through a SAS 12Gb/s interface and uses 3D eTLC flash with a Seagate controller. The drive includes full data-path protection and advanced power-loss safeguards for mission-critical workloads.

Sustained throughput under load

Unlike burst-only ratings, this SSD maintains 1000 MB/s for both sustained sequential read and sustained sequential write. The 2.10 GB/s maximum sequential read is available for short bursts, but the sustained figures represent continuous performance during heavy database or virtualisation workloads. Write endurance is balanced for mixed-use enterprise applications.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The 2.5-inch form factor measures 0.6 inches high, 2.8 inches wide and 4 inches deep, weighing 5.82 oz, allowing dense packing in standard drive bays. With no moving parts the drive produces no acoustic noise during operation. Power draw scales with the SAS interface activity and the 3D eTLC workload rather than mechanical seek cycles.

Questions about this item

How much power does the Nytro 3031 960GB SAS SSD draw during sustained 2.10 GB/s reads?

The drive sustains 1000 MB/s reads and 1000 MB/s writes through its SAS 12Gb/s interface, maintaining consistent throughput without thermal throttling in enterprise enclosures.

What SAS infrastructure is required to run this XS960SE70014 at 12Gb/s?

A 12Gb/s SAS HBA or RAID controller with a 2.5-inch drive bay and SAS backplane is needed to connect the dual-port SAS interface and deliver full bandwidth.

Will this 2.5-inch SAS 12Gb/s drive negotiate down to 6Gb/s on my older backplane?

Yes, the SAS 12Gb/s interface auto-negotiates link speed, so the 960GB Nytro 3031 operates at 6Gb/s on legacy backplanes while retaining full data-path protection.
