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

The Seagate Exos X18 is a 16 TB enterprise hard drive engineered for high-density storage environments such as hyperscale data centers. It utilizes a standard 3.5-inch form factor and connects via a SAS 12Gb/s interface, providing high-speed connectivity for compatible server and storage systems. This drive is constructed to manage continuous, data-intensive workloads, focusing on delivering maximum storage capacity and dependable data availability. Its internal architecture is optimized for bulk data applications and cloud infrastructure.

Performance is achieved through a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB cache, enabling sustained data transfer rates of 261 MB/s. To ensure operational stability in multi-drive arrays, the unit is equipped with rotational vibration sensors and supports end-to-end data protection. The drive is designed for 24/7 operation, supports hot-swapping, and features a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours. Integrated S.M.A.R.T. monitoring and SED security algorithms further enhance data management and protection.
