Seagate Nytro 3050 3.84TB 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s Internal SSD

Overview

The Seagate XS3840SE70045 is a 3.84 TB internal solid state drive designed for enterprise servers and storage arrays that require reliable and consistent data throughput. It fits into any standard 2.5-inch bay and connects via a dual-port 12 Gb/s SAS interface, enabling balanced bandwidth across redundant paths to maintain uptime during maintenance or failover. With sequential read speeds up to 2,200 MB/s and write speeds up to 1,800 MB/s, this drive supports demanding workloads such as databases, virtual machines, and analytics with low latency and high responsiveness.

Key features

• Dual-port SAS interface provides redundant data paths for continuous operation and failover protection.
• Enterprise-grade 3D triple-level cell NAND ensures a balance of capacity and endurance for mixed read/write workloads.
• High random IOPS performance accelerates access to small data blocks, improving responsiveness for virtualized and database environments.
• Low power consumption during idle helps data centers reduce energy costs without sacrificing performance.
• Seagate SeaChest management tools simplify drive health monitoring, firmware updates, and lifetime tracking across large deployments.
• Robust endurance rating supports one full drive write per day and a total of 7,000 terabytes written over five years, ensuring long-term reliability.
• Mean time between failures of 2.5 million hours supports 24/7 operation in critical enterprise environments.
