Key Features

Advanced Technology

With Seagate’s SmartAlign technology, you get all the benefits of the new Advanced Format 4K sector standard—no utilities and no extra steps needed. The advanced format (AF) drive migration happens automatically in the background, and drive performance is not affected, unlike the time-consuming utilities required by competitive AF-enabled drives.

Secure Self-Encrypting Drive Options

Seagate delivers on government-grade encryption without any performance degradation, protecting data where it lives—on your drive. The drive supports the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal protocol and is the world’s first 7mm SED to ship with FIPS 140-2 validation. Instant on-the-fly encryption ensures your data is secure, and Instant Secure Erase technology enables fast and easy secure drive retirement.
