Features

constellation es-3 feature 1: 4tb data footprint

Maximize your data footprint

The Constellation ES.3 features the world’s largest capacities in a 3.5-inch form factor. Build cost-effective maximum capacity storage solutions with enterprise-class, 7200-RPM drives in capacities up to 4TB. Select from sixth-generation SAS or SATA interfaces for easy integration.

constellation es-3 feature 2:low-power enterprise storage

24×7 energy-efficient data access

Among 3.5-inch form factor drives, the Constellation ES.3 features the lowest operating power in the industry-less than 10.68W on average.

Additionally, Constellation ES.3 hard drives further power reductions with enhanced PowerChoice™ technology. Purpose-built for enterprise environments, the PowerChoice feature enables the T10-compliant power management standard, allowing organizations to tailor systems for optimal energy usage resulting in up to 90% more power savings.

constellation es-3 feature-3: enterprise drive reliability

Drive reliability you can trust.

The Constellation ES.3 provides enhanced error correction, super-parity and end-to-end SAS-based data integrity for accurate data storage each and every time. With its robust 7200-RPM performance, ramp load technology and a humidity sensor for optimum performance, it’s the perfect solution for maximizing your enterprise system availability.

Powered by our multi-drive firmware and enhanced rotational vibration tolerance, the Constellation ES.3 can help to ensure consistent and reliable performance. In addition, protect data where it lives-on the drive- with our Self-Encrypting Drive option with FIPS 140-2 and Seagate Instant Secure Erase.
