Enterprise 2 TB CMR drive

The Seagate ST2000NM0055 is a 2 TB 3.5-inch hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It spins at 7 200 RPM with a 128 MB cache and uses conventional magnetic recording for consistent performance in multi-drive systems. The drive is engineered for 24 x 7 workloads of 550 TB per year.

SATA 6.0 Gb/s host interface

Verify that your server or RAID controller provides a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port and supports 512n, 512e or 4Kn sector formats. The unit fits standard 3.5-inch bays with maximum dimensions of 147.00 mm length, 101.85 mm width and 26.10 mm height. Ensure your backplane supplies the required 12 V and 5 V rails.

24 x 7 thermal design

Dual processors, ramp-load technology and a top-cover-attached motor keep operating temperatures stable in dense chassis. The on-demand PowerBalance feature reduces power draw during random read/write activity. A humidity sensor maintains optimum performance across varying environmental conditions.

Questions about this item

Does the ST2000NM0055 ship with mounting screws, cables or a bracket, or must they be purchased separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5-inch unit; SATA data and power cables plus any mounting hardware are not included and must be sourced separately.

What distinguishes the 2 TB, 7200 RPM, 128 MB cache model from other capacities in the Enterprise Capacity 3.5 series?

It provides 2 TB of CMR storage with a 128 MB buffer and 7200 RPM spindle speed, matching the series’ 550 TB per year workload rating and Advanced Write Caching for random-write efficiency.

How does the 6.0 Gb/s SATA interface and 4.16 ms latency translate to real-world throughput in a RAID array?

The SATA 6.0 Gb/s link supports the drive’s sustained transfer rates, while 4.16 ms average latency and dual-processor design deliver consistent random I/O performance in multi-drive RAID environments.
