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

The Seagate Exos X24 is an enterprise-grade hard disk drive with a 16 TB storage capacity, designed for high-density data centers and large-scale NAS systems. It operates at a spindle speed of 7200 RPM and connects via a SATA 6 Gbit/s interface, providing a standard connection for enterprise hardware. A 512 MB cache is integrated to facilitate efficient data handling and reduce latency during intensive read/write operations. The drive’s architecture is optimized for bulk data storage and retrieval in demanding, 24/7 environments.

Engineered for sustained reliability, this HDD is rated for a workload of 550 TB per year and has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours. Integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors help maintain consistent performance by mitigating interference in multi-drive arrays. For data integrity, it incorporates end-to-end protection and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring. Security is addressed through its Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) functionality, which provides hardware-based data encryption for sensitive information.
