Seagate Exos 7E8 3.5" 2TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SAS Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Seagate Exos 7E8 ST2000NM004A is an enterprise-class hard drive designed for bulk data applications within server and data center environments. This 3.5-inch drive connects via a 12 Gb/s SAS interface, which facilitates high-speed data transfer in professional storage systems. It operates at a spindle speed of 7200 RPM, delivering consistent performance for demanding, high-availability workloads. The drive is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, making it a functional component for scalable enterprise storage arrays and network-attached storage.

Performance is supported by a 256 MB cache that helps manage data flow and reduce bottlenecks during read/write tasks. The drive achieves sustained transfer rates of up to 215 MB/s and has an average latency of 4.16 ms. To ensure data integrity, it integrates S.M.A.R.T. monitoring and end-to-end data protection features. Its reliability is quantified by a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 2 million hours, making it suitable for critical business applications that require long-term operational stability.
