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

The Seagate Exos X24 ST16000NM005H is an internal hard drive that provides 16 TB of storage capacity for enterprise environments. It is engineered for use in data centers, cloud-scale solutions, and professional NAS/SAN deployments where high-density storage is required. The drive operates on a 12 Gbit/s SAS interface, designed to support continuous 24/7 workloads and data-intensive applications. For security, it incorporates Seagate Secure technology to provide hardware-based data-at-rest encryption.

This model's performance is driven by a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 512 MB cache, facilitating efficient data retrieval and transfer operations. It delivers sustained data transfer rates of up to 285 MB/s, suitable for bulk data storage and high-traffic server tasks. The inclusion of rotational vibration (RV) sensors helps maintain consistent performance in dense, multi-drive systems by mitigating vibration interference. The drive is rated for a 550 TB/year workload and has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, reflecting its design for long-term operational reliability.
