Seagate specifically positions its second-generation Pulsar solid-state drives for enterprise users and maces emphasize on their reliability rather than on pure performance. Both the Pulsar.2 and Pulsar XT.2 drives leverage Seagate’s experience in product development, qualification, fulfillment and ongoing support. Seagate declares 0.44% annual failure rate (AFR) and 2 million hour meantime between failure (MTBF) rating for the Pulsar XT.2 and Pulsar.2 SSDs. Since the novelties are not designed for desktops or laptops, they can use Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 6Gb/s interface.


The Pulsar.2 SSD is the first MLC NAND flash-powered solid-state drive from an enterprise HDD vendor delivering the price/performance, data integrity, and endurance needed for performance-hungry enterprise applications. The drive can automatically detect and correct a multitude of data errors than can occur during normal drive operations to deliver the highest levels of enterprise-class data integrity and endurance. The Pulsar.2 supports both native 6Gb/s SAS and SATA 6Gb/s interfaces and available in 100GB, 200GB, 400GB and 800GB capacities.
