Seagate ST2000NX0273

Overview

The Seagate ST2000NX0273 is a 2.5-inch enterprise-class hard drive designed to deliver reliable storage capacity in a compact 15 mm high form factor. With 2 TB of storage and a 7200 rpm spindle speed, it offers a strong balance of capacity and performance for dense server environments and storage arrays where space is limited. The drive’s dual-port SAS interface supports 12 Gb/s data transfer rates, ensuring fast and redundant connectivity for critical applications.

Key features

• Dual-port SAS interface provides high bandwidth and path redundancy to maintain availability in multi-drive setups.
• 7200 rpm spindle speed combined with a 128 MB cache buffer helps maintain smooth and responsive performance under mixed workloads.
• Seagate RAID Rebuild technology accelerates recovery times in RAID arrays, minimizing downtime during rebuilds.
• Enhanced vibration tolerance supports stable operation in dense enclosures with multiple drives.
• PowerChoice firmware allows administrators to reduce power consumption by placing the drive in low-power states, saving energy in large-scale deployments.
• Robust 25 G operating shock rating ensures durability and reliability in demanding enterprise environments.
• Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, reflecting confidence in long-term dependability.

Connectivity and compatibility

This hard drive’s dual-port SAS interface supports 12 Gb/s links, allowing connection to enterprise storage controllers and servers that require high throughput and redundancy. Its compact 2.5-inch size and 15 mm height make it compatible with dense server trays, SAN and NAS appliances, and virtualized environments where space efficiency is critical. The drive fits well in tier-two storage tiers where a balance of speed and capacity is needed without moving to larger 3.5-inch drives.

Performance and reliability

The 7200 rpm spindle speed and 128 MB cache help maintain consistent performance during demanding workloads, while the average latency of 4.16 ms keeps data access responsive. Seagate’s RAID Rebuild technology and vibration tolerance enhance reliability in multi-drive arrays, reducing rebuild times and minimizing the risk of downtime. The drive’s 25 G shock rating further ensures it can withstand the physical stresses common in enterprise data centers.

Ideal uses and environments

This drive is well suited to enterprise IT environments that require dependable storage in compact spaces, such as data centers with dense server racks or storage arrays. It works effectively in SAN and NAS systems, virtualized infrastructures, and tier-two storage tiers where a combination of capacity, speed, and reliability is essential. Organizations looking to optimize power consumption across many drives will also benefit from the PowerChoice firmware’s low-power modes.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
