Enterprise class SATA hard drives:

At Excel Meridian Data we know we’ve built a top notch hardware solution with the SecurStor Astra SA IP enclosure and RAID engine, so naturally we wanted the best hard drives in the industry to seal the deal. We turned to Seagate to deliver, and deliver they did… with the all new Seagate Barracuda ES™ and ES.2™ SATA Enterprise class 24x7 duty cycle drives.
