Seagate Exos X24 3.5" 16TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, 550 WRL, SATA III Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Seagate Exos X24 ST16000NM002H is an internal hard drive engineered for high-capacity, enterprise-level storage applications. With a 16 TB capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, it is suitable for integration into data centers, cloud storage platforms, and large-scale NAS systems. The drive is designed for continuous 24/7 operation and includes features to maintain data integrity and reliability under demanding workloads. Its construction is specified for a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours and a workload rate limit of 550 TB per year.

Performance is facilitated by a 7200 RPM spindle speed, a 512 MB cache, and a SATA 6 Gbit/s interface, which together provide sustained data transfer rates of up to 285 MB/s. To ensure consistent operation in multi-drive arrays, the HDD is equipped with rotational vibration (RV) sensors that mitigate the effects of chassis vibration. The drive also supports S.M.A.R.T. monitoring for proactive health assessments and features end-to-end data protection to safeguard information from the host to the drive. Power consumption is managed for efficiency, with a typical idle power draw of 6.3 watts.
