Dell is partnering with Seagate to become one of the first resellers to offer the Constellation hard drives in servers and PC desktops.
Dell is also partnering with Seagate and will be one of the first companies to sell the Constellation family of drives in new computers. Dell plans to offer the new hard drives in PC desktops this quarter. The company plans to ship a new enterprise server solution which includes the 3.5-inch external storage architecture in the third quarter.
One of the new characteristics in the Seagate Constellation family is self-encrypting drive (SED) technology. This provides a government grade solution for data security through the hard drive’s life cycle. SED is designed to storage critical information that must remain secure and offers the AES-safe environment.
