Seagate Exos X24 3.5" 16TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, SAS Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Seagate Exos X24 ST16000NM007H is an internal hard drive engineered for high-capacity storage within enterprise environments. It provides 16 TB of space in a standard 3.5-inch form factor and utilizes a SAS 12 Gb/s interface for high-throughput data access. This drive is constructed for continuous 24/7 operation in data centers, servers, and large-scale storage arrays where system uptime is a primary requirement. Its design incorporates features intended to manage performance and maintain reliability in demanding, multi-drive systems.

Performance is supported by a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a large 512 MB cache, which facilitates efficient handling of large datasets and contributes to an average latency of 4.16 ms. Integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors help maintain consistent throughput in dense, vibration-prone server chassis. The drive includes hardware-based end-to-end data protection and supports S.M.A.R.T. monitoring to track drive health. With a workload rating of 550 TB per year and a 2.5 million hour Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), it is specified for sustained, heavy-use applications.
