Seagate Exos X18 3.5" 10TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SAS Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Seagate Exos X18 is an enterprise-grade hard drive designed for high-capacity storage applications in cloud data centers and large-scale server environments. It offers 10 TB of storage in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, built to accommodate the scalability requirements of modern IT infrastructure. The drive utilizes a SAS 12Gb/s interface for high-throughput data transfer and reliable connectivity in demanding settings. Engineered for continuous availability, this model supports 24/7 operation to ensure consistent access to data.

Performance is achieved through a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB cache, which enable sustained read and write speeds of up to 270 MB/s with an average latency of 4.16 ms. To maintain operational stability in multi-drive systems, it integrates rotational vibration sensors that mitigate the effects of chassis-induced vibration. The drive is rated for a workload of 550 TB per year and has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours. End-to-end data protection is provided by the T10 Data Integrity Field (DIF) security algorithm.
