  • PowerChoice technology reduces power during idle periods

Enterprise SAS drive for 24/7 workloads

The Seagate Constellation ES ST3500414SS is a 500GB 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for business-critical applications. It spins at 7200RPM with a SAS 6Gb/s interface and 16MB buffer. PowerChoice technology reduces power draw during idle periods. Designed for continuous operation in multi-drive environments.

Suited for SAS arrays; not for other interfaces

This drive fits servers and storage arrays that accept 3.5 inch SAS drives running at 6Gb/s. It serves IT teams needing reliable capacity for 24 x 7 duty cycles. Buyers whose systems only support different drive interfaces should look at other options. The enterprise firmware targets multi-drive reliability.

SAS 6Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the 3.5 inch SAS 6Gb/s interface. Your backplane or controller must support this exact connection standard. Capacity of 500GB and 7200RPM speed follow from the model. Verify the interface match before purchase.

Questions about this item

What sustained transfer limit appears first when the 7200RPM SAS drive runs continuously?

The 6Gb/s SAS interface caps sustained throughput before the mechanical platters become the bottleneck.

How much heat and noise does the 3.5-inch enterprise drive produce during 24×7 operation?

PowerChoice technology reduces power draw during idle periods, lowering heat output and acoustic levels for multi-drive arrays.

Which host interface must the system already provide for the ST3500414SS to function?

A 6Gb/s SAS backplane or controller card with a 3.5-inch drive bay is required.
