Seagate today unveiled a 2TB M.2 non-volatile memory express (NVMe) Solid State Drive (SSD) that can help data centers more easily accommodate exponential data growth, while still maintaining high levels of computing power and performance. As the latest addition to the Seagate Nytro SSD product line, the 2TB Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD is designed to accelerate enterprise data access, with twice the density of prior M.2 NVMe environments.

With active power consumption of 7 watts - nearly half the power consumption of similar performing drives available today - the 2TB Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD can reach performance levels as high as 30,000 input/output operations per second (IOPS) per watt. And, the drive?s flexible form factor means enterprises can easily bring PCIe NVMe performance to their data centers without having to overhaul their entire infrastructure.

The 2TB Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD has end-to-end data protection, including low-density parity-check error correction and RAISE technology, which delivers RAID-like data protection and recovery from flash memory failures. The drive also comes with a power loss data protection circuit to help prevent data loss in the event of a power interruption.

The 2TB Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD will be available through Seagate's channel partners in November 2016.

For datacenters not yet prepared to utilize the new M.2 interface, this same solution is also available as the new Nytro XP7102 PCIe NVMe Add-in Card, available now.
