Enterprise storage drive
The Seagate Constellation.2 ST91000642SS is a 1TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise servers and storage arrays. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 64MB cache and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The bare drive includes FIPS 140-2 validated encryption for data security.
Suited for high-density arrays
This drive fits 2.5-inch SAS bays that accept a 15mm z-height and works in systems designed for nearline workloads with a 1.4M hour MTBF rating. It is not for systems without a SAS host bus adapter or backplane, nor for installations limited to thinner drive profiles.
Deciding specification
The SAS 6Gb/s interface and 15mm form factor determine whether this drive can be installed and used. Buyers must confirm their chassis, controller and firmware support these exact physical and protocol requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the 64MB cache or 7200 RPM spindle need service later?
The 64MB cache and 7200 RPM spindle are sealed inside the drive; no user maintenance is required for either component.
What limit appears first during sustained write workloads?
The SAS 6Gb/s interface caps sustained throughput before the 7200 RPM platters or 64MB cache become the bottleneck.
How much heat and noise does the 15mm 2.5" drive produce running all day?
The 15mm 2.5" form factor is built for dense enclosures; power draw and acoustics stay within enterprise nearline limits for continuous operation.
