📦 Seagate Savvio 10K.1 73GB 10K SAS Enterprise HDD

Model: ST973401SS | 10,000 RPM | 3Gb/s SAS | 8MB/16MB Cache

The Seagate ST973401SS is a field-proven storage solution engineered for 24/7 operation. As one of the early pioneers of the 2.5-inch enterprise form factor, the Savvio 10K.1 series helped transition data centers away from bulkier 3.5-inch drives by offering higher IOPS density and improved power efficiency. It is an ideal replacement part for maintaining legacy server arrays where consistent performance and specific part-number matching are required.
