Silver 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive with circuit board visible on underside

Seagate

Seagate ST1200MM0009 1.2 TB 10000 RPM SATA 12 GB/s 128 MB 4Kn internal hard drive

SKU CH-0QMQ-TDQ89

Enterprise SATA drive delivers 1.2 TB at 10,000 RPM with 128 MB cache and 12 Gb/s throughput

  • 2 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 10,000 RPM spindle speed reduces average latency to 2.9 ms
  • SATA 12 GB/s interface enables up to 250 MB/s sustained transfer rate
  • 128 MB cache buffers bursts for smoother random access
  • 4 million hour MTBF rating underpins enterprise reliability

1.2 TB 10000 RPM SATA Enterprise Drive

This 1.2 TB enterprise hard drive spins at 10000 RPM and connects via a SATA 12 Gb/s interface. It is built for servers and storage arrays that demand consistent throughput and high reliability. The 128 MB cache helps sustain performance across mixed workloads.

Suits high-throughput server bays.

The drive targets administrators who need sustained transfer rates between 250 and 108 MB/s in multi-drive environments. Its 3.51 W idle power and 4.74 W typical operating draw require adequate cooling. Buyers seeking quiet operation for a workstation or home PC should look elsewhere.

SATA 12 Gb/s interface with 4Kn sector format

The SATA 12 Gb/s host connection determines compatibility with controllers and backplanes that support this signalling rate. The 4Kn advanced format requires an operating system and controller that recognise 4 KB native sectors. Verify both points before installation.

Questions about this item

What sustained transfer rate drops first when the Seagate ST1200MM0009 runs at 10000 RPM for long periods?

The outer-to-inner sustained transfer rate falls from 250 MB/s down to 108 MB/s as the head moves across the platters.

How much heat and noise should I expect from the drive when it operates continuously in a server?

Idle power is 3.51 W and typical random-read power is 4.74 W, with PowerChoice standby at 1.14 W; the 10000 RPM spindle produces audible whir and measurable warmth.

Which host connector and voltage rails must my chassis already provide for this SATA 12 GB/s drive?

A SATA 12 GB/s port plus both +12 V and +5 V power rails are required for the ST1200MM0009 to spin up and operate.
