Seagate Nytro 3000 3.2TB 2.5" SAS 12Gb/s Mixed Use SSD

The Seagate XS3200LE70045 is a solid state drive in the Nytro 3000 family, designed for enterprise servers and storage arrays that rely on the 2.5 inch SAS bay. It connects through a 12 Gb/s SAS interface and offers dual ports, giving administrators path redundancy that keeps data accessible even if one connection fails.

With 3.2 TB of capacity, the drive supports consolidation of workloads that once required several smaller drives. Sequential performance reaches 2200 MB/s for reads and 1800 MB/s for writes, keeping database transactions, virtual machines, and real-time analytics moving at the pace modern businesses expect. Random performance peaks at 250,000 IOPS for reads and 130,000 IOPS for writes, so latency-sensitive applications stay responsive during heavy multitasking.

Reliability is built in for continuous operation. The drive is rated for three complete drive writes per day, totaling 17,500 TB written over its life. It uses 3D TLC NAND that is qualified for enterprise duty and includes power-loss data protection. A mean time between failures of 2.5 million hours and a five-year limited warranty provide further assurance that the drive will stand up to around-the-clock workloads.

Typical deployments include virtualization hosts, online transaction processing databases, and high-density storage nodes where both speed and endurance are critical. The familiar SAS interface makes the XS3200LE70045 a straightforward drop-in upgrade for existing 12 Gb/s backplanes, allowing data centers to boost performance without re-architecting their infrastructure.
