Seagate Exos X18 3.5" 16TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SAS Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Seagate Exos X18 is an internal hard drive engineered for enterprise-scale storage solutions, providing 16 TB of capacity for data centers, servers, and high-density NAS environments. It utilizes a SAS 12 Gb/s interface, which is designed to deliver consistent throughput for demanding, data-intensive workloads. The drive's construction is focused on reliability in multi-drive systems, incorporating features that support continuous, 24/7 operation. Its standard 3.5-inch form factor allows for integration into existing server and storage chassis.

Performance is managed through a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB cache, which facilitate sustained data transfer rates of up to 261 MB/s. To maintain operational stability in dense storage arrays, the drive is equipped with rotational vibration sensors that mitigate the effects of system-level vibrations. Features such as end-to-end data protection and hot-swap compatibility are included to support data integrity and system serviceability in critical enterprise applications. The drive's power consumption is rated at 5.8 W during idle states.
