💎 Cisco Seagate 1TB 7.2K SAS 12Gb/s Enterprise HDDModel: ST1000NX0453 | Cisco PN: 1VE200-175 | Series: Exos 7E2000 | 7,200 RPM

The Seagate ST1000NX0453 is a high-density Enterprise Capacity drive from the Exos 7E2000 family, specifically firmware-matched for Cisco UCS and enterprise storage environments. Balancing a massive 1TB capacity with a high-speed 12Gb/s SAS interface, this 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) drive is designed for bulk data storage in space-constrained data centers. It offers the perfect blend of cost-efficiency and enterprise-grade reliability for 24/7 unstructured data workloads.

📊 Technical Specifications

• Capacity: 💾 1 TB

• Interface: ⚡ SAS-3 12.0 Gb/s (Dual Port)

• Spindle Speed: 🔄 7,200 RPM

• Form Factor: 📏 2.5-inch (15mm SFF)

• Cache: 🧠 128 MB

• MTBF: 🛡️ 2.0 Million Hours

✅ Why This Drive Rocks

• Condition: ✨ Refurbished - Excellent. Professionally audited, secure-erased to NIST 800-88 standards, and verified for 100% health for immediate deployment in mission-critical arrays.

• Modern 12Gb/s Interface: Provides double the interface bandwidth of legacy 6Gb/s drives, ensuring faster data movement and better scalability in high-density 12G backplanes.

• Cisco Validated Firmware: Features specialized firmware for seamless integration with Cisco UCS server management, providing accurate health monitoring and stable performance in RAID configurations.

• Optimized for Multi-Drive Systems: Includes advanced rotational vibration (RV) tolerance and head micro-actuation to maintain consistent performance even in high-density, multi-drive server chassis.

📦 Compatibility & Use Case

• Target Systems: Native support for Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers (e.g., C220, C240) and B-Series Blade Servers, as well as high-density storage area networks (SAN).

• Best For: Enterprise backup and restore, cloud computing, rich media content storage, and storage-hungry business applications.

• Note: This is an Enterprise SAS drive. It requires a SAS-capable backplane and will not function in standard consumer laptops or desktop SATA ports.
