Seagate Exos X18 3.5" 12TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Seagate Exos X18 is an enterprise-grade internal hard drive engineered for high-capacity storage in demanding IT infrastructures. It offers a 12 TB capacity, making it suitable for hyperscale applications, cloud data centers, and large-scale surveillance systems that require extensive bulk storage. This drive is constructed for continuous 24/7 operation, incorporating specific technologies to maintain consistent performance and data integrity under sustained workloads. Its design prioritizes a balance of high capacity and operational reliability for enterprise server and storage applications.

Performance is managed through a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB multi-segmented cache, which work together to optimize data access and transfer times for large datasets. The drive utilizes a SATA 6.0 Gbit/s interface for broad compatibility with standard enterprise-level servers and storage systems. Integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors help mitigate the effects of vibration in multi-drive chassis, ensuring stable read/write operations. Additional features include end-to-end data protection and hot-swap compatibility for enhanced data management and system serviceability.
