XP12800LE70015 Seagate Nytro 5550H 12.8TB NVMe 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance U.2 NVMe Enterprise SSD for Mixed-Workload Storage Tiers with the XP12800LE70015

The XP12800LE70015 is a 12.8TB Seagate Nytro 5550H enterprise SSD engineered for 2.5in U.2 NVMe deployments in hot-swap server bays, targeting latency-sensitive storage tiers where predictable performance and serviceability are mandatory. Built on TLC NAND and tuned for mixed workloads, the XP12800LE70015 supports virtualization estates, database logging, and read-intensive analytics pipelines that demand high queue-depth throughput without sacrificing endurance.

With NVMe over PCIe, the XP12800LE70015 is designed to remove SAS/SATA bottlenecks in modern CPU platforms by delivering up to 1,700,000 4K read IOPS and up to 495,000 4K write IOPS for consolidated applications and tiered storage architectures. Its 3 DWPD endurance over 5 years (70,000 TBW) aligns with sustained write activity such as journaling, metadata services, and cache layers, while hot-swap integration supports non-disruptive maintenance in dense, front-access chassis and backplane environments.

Why Choose the XP12800LE70015?

The XP12800LE70015 provides an efficient density-to-performance profile for data centres standardising on U.2 NVMe, enabling scalable capacity expansion while keeping operational risk low through enterprise endurance and 24x7 suitability. It is a practical choice for architects consolidating workloads onto fewer drives, reducing controller overhead, and maintaining consistent QoS under mixed read/write pressure.

Seagate designs the Nytro enterprise portfolio around sustained performance, qualification rigor, and interoperability with server backplanes and storage platforms, supporting modern reliability expectations with 2.5M hours MTBF and power characteristics appropriate for dense rack deployments. The XP12800LE70015 also integrates AES-256 TCG Enterprise self-encryption to align with secure storage and compliance-driven environments.

Key Applications:

• Mixed-workload virtualization datastores
• Database logging and journaling
• Read-intensive analytics
• Content delivery cache tiers
• 24x7 boot and tiered storage
