Seagate Technology has announced the availability of the 1200.2 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Solid State Drive (SSD). The Seagate 1200.2 SAS SSD is the first product to result from a strategic alliance between Seagate and Micron Technology, which was announced in February.

The framework established between Seagate and Micron has led to the development and production of this next-generation, high-capacity SAS SSD platform, says Brett Pemble, vice president of flash products, Seagate cloud systems and electronics solutions. It’s the first 12 gigabits-per-second (Gb/s) SAS device to optimize dual channel throughput with up to 1800 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) sequential reads and offer multiple endurance choices within a single hardware and firmware design, he adds.

The Seagate 1200.2 SAS SSD is engineered for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and system builder partners who design and build scalable, modular storage solutions for enterprise applications. It’s also available to enterprise end users who want to directly upgrade and expand their existing SAS storage infrastructure and investment.

For enterprise and cloud customers with critical production systems requiring high data availability, the drive delivers the data integrity required in the event of an unexpected power loss, Pemble says. The Seagate 1200.2 SAS SSD provides superior data protection and reliability that protects data from undetected, unintentional corruption and prevents unauthorized access to the drive and stored data with three levels of security, he adds.
