Seagate Exos 10E2400 1.2TB 2.5" 10K RPM SATA 12 GB/s Enterprise HDD

The Seagate ST1200MM0009 is a 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive that gives servers and storage arrays a dependable mix of capacity and speed. Built on the Exos 10E2400 platform, it provides 1.2 TB of space and spins at 10,000 rpm, so critical databases, virtual machines, and transactional workloads load quickly and stay responsive even when demand surges.

Its SAS interface runs at 12 Gb/s, allowing sustained throughput that ranges from 108 MB/s up to 250 MB/s, while an average latency of 2.9 ms keeps access times low. A 128 MB cache smooths bursts of read and write activity, which is particularly useful during peak business hours or large backup operations.

For organizations where data protection is paramount, the drive supports Instant Secure Erase. This feature lets administrators remove sensitive information in minutes before repurposing or retiring hardware. Seagate PowerChoice technology can lower active power draw to about 7.25 W and idle consumption to roughly 4.26 W, helping data centers manage energy budgets without sacrificing performance.

The ST1200MM0009 fits neatly into small form factor bays, making it an easy drop-in for dense rack servers, high-availability SANs, and hyperconverged systems that require consistent throughput and rock-solid reliability. A five-year limited warranty underscores its suitability for round-the-clock enterprise duty cycles.
