Seagate Exos X24 3.5" 20TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, SAS Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Seagate Exos X24 is an internal hard drive engineered for mass-capacity storage in enterprise-level data centers. It provides a 20 TB capacity within a standard 3.5-inch form factor, suitable for high-density server and storage systems. With a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 12 Gbit/s SAS interface, the drive is built to handle data-intensive workloads consistently. Its design prioritizes performance and accessibility for applications requiring continuous data availability and high throughput. This model is intended for environments where large-scale data storage is a primary requirement.

This drive incorporates features to ensure operational integrity in multi-drive configurations. Integrated rotational vibration (RV) sensors help maintain performance by mitigating the effects of vibration in tightly packed server racks. It is rated for a workload of 550 TB per year and has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, indicating its suitability for 24/7 operation. The drive also includes end-to-end data protection and Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology for data security. These specifications support its deployment in demanding, continuously operating environments.
