Seagate Exos 7E8 3.5" 8TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, 550 WRL, SATA III Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Seagate Exos 7E8 ST8000NM000A is an enterprise-grade hard drive with an 8 TB storage capacity, designed for bulk data applications and data center environments. It utilizes a standard 3.5-inch form factor and a SATA III interface, which supports transfer rates up to 6 Gbit/s. The drive operates at a spindle speed of 7200 RPM and includes a 256 MB cache to facilitate efficient data retrieval, achieving a sustained data rate of up to 249 MB/s. This configuration is engineered to handle continuous, high-volume data access in server and storage systems.

Built for reliability in demanding settings, this HDD is rated for 24/7 operation with a workload limit of 550 TB per year. It features a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2,000,000 hours, indicating a high level of dependability. Integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors help maintain stable performance in dense multi-drive systems by counteracting vibration. The drive also supports end-to-end data protection and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring to maintain data integrity, alongside TCG-compliant and FIPS-based security options for data encryption.
