Up to 3 TB run on 29% less energy than comparable storage units

Since it isn't about to disregard its enterprise storage lineup, Seagate has prepared three additions to its already extensive lineup.

Called Enterprise Value HDD, the series is composed of 1 TB, 2 TB and 3 TB drives, all of them featuring the 3.5-inch form factor.

In addition to a server rack density of 114 TB per sq. foot, Seagate promises power savings of up to 29% compared to other high-capacity enterprise drives.

Seagate describes the trio as “the most economical Seagate Enterprise platform for storing exabytes of unstructured data in the cloud.”

Each Enterprise Value HDD has five platters, a rotary speed of 5,400 RPM (probably) and support for the SATA 6.0 Gbps interface, or SATA III as it is otherwise known.

Seagate also released the Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD and Enterprise Performance 10K HDD series, but we will cover them separately.

Sadly, no prices seem to have been disclosed, for either collection.
