Silver 2.5 inch SAS hard drive bare unit

Seagate

Seagate ST1200MM0088 1.2TB 10000RPM 12Gb/s 2.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-1BQM-13PDY

A 1.2 TB SAS drive spinning at 10000 RPM with 128 MB cache for enterprise storage

  • 2 TB capacity supports dense enterprise storage
  • 10,000 RPM spindle speed accelerates transaction-heavy workloads
  • 12 Gb/s SAS interface delivers high-throughput connectivity
  • 128 MB cache buffers bursts for consistent performance
  • 5-inch form factor fits space-constrained server bays

Enterprise SAS Drive

The Seagate ST1200MM0088 is a 1.2TB 10000RPM hard drive with a 12Gb/s SAS interface and a 128MB buffer. It uses a 2.5 inch form factor designed for enterprise storage arrays and servers. The bare drive includes features such as Power Choice Technology and Background Media Scan.

Suited For High-IOPS Workloads

This drive suits administrators who need consistent random-access performance for transactional databases or virtualization hosts. Buyers who want more capacity per spindle should look at larger nearline models. Systems without a 12Gb/s SAS backplane or controller cannot use the drive at its rated interface speed.

12Gb/s SAS Interface Decides Fit

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 12Gb/s SAS interface. The drive requires a controller or backplane that supports this exact protocol and signalling rate. Without that connection the drive will not function in the target system.

Questions about this item

Does the ST1200MM0088 ship with cables or a mounting bracket, or must they be purchased separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit only; SAS data and power cables plus a 2.5 inch mounting bracket or tray are not included and must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the 1.2TB 10000RPM model or a different capacity for a high-transaction database server?

The 1.2TB 10000RPM configuration with 128MB cache and 12Gb/s SAS delivers the highest random IOPS in this form factor; select a larger capacity only if raw space outweighs peak transaction speed.

What does the 12Gb/s SAS interface actually deliver inside a typical RAID controller backplane?

The 12Gb/s SAS link provides up to 1200MB/s per port, so sustained throughput is limited by the 10000RPM mechanics and 128MB buffer rather than the interface itself.
