XS1600LE10003 Seagate Nytro 3530 1.6TB SAS 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5-inch Enterprise SAS SSD engineered for mixed workloads with the XS1600LE10003

The XS1600LE10003 is a 1.6TB Seagate Nytro 3530 enterprise SAS SSD designed to modernise server and datacenter storage tiers where predictable latency and sustained throughput are mandatory. Built on 3D-NAND MLC, it targets mixed read/write virtualisation, databases, and transactional environments that depend on consistent QoS rather than burst behavior.

With up to 2100 MB/s sequential read and 1400 MB/s sequential write, the XS1600LE10003 supports high-density SAS storage arrays and legacy SAS backplanes without changing the host architecture. Random performance up to 400K read IOPS and 145K write IOPS (4K) enables metadata and cache tiers to accelerate index-heavy operations and VM boot storms. Enterprise safeguards include Power Loss Protection (PLP) to protect in-flight data during unexpected outages, while 3 DWPD endurance over 5 years (8760 TBW) aligns with write-active database logs and consolidation scenarios. Low power operation at 3W idle and 9W active helps maintain thermal envelopes in dense 2.5-inch bays.

Why Choose the XS1600LE10003?

The XS1600LE10003 delivers a practical density-to-performance profile for SAS infrastructures that require SSD-class latency with operational continuity across existing controllers, expanders, and backplanes. It provides a scalable path to all-flash pools in mixed workloads, supporting predictable service levels, high availability design, and straightforward integration into enterprise monitoring and lifecycle processes.

Seagate engineers the Nytro enterprise portfolio with a focus on sustained performance, data integrity, and qualification for continuous datacenter duty cycles. The platform aligns with modern storage reliability expectations through robust firmware, power-fail protection design, and endurance targets suited to 24/7 operational demands.

Key Applications:

• Virtualisation storage tiers
• Transactional databases
• Metadata and cache acceleration
• All-flash SAS storage arrays
