Seagate Exos X22 3.5", 20TB, 7200 RPM, 512MB, 550 WRL, SED, SAS - hard drive

The Seagate Exos X22 20TB hard drive, model ST20000NM001E, is a high-capacity storage solution designed for enterprise environments that demand reliable performance and robust data protection. This drive is engineered for 24x7 operations, leveraging AgileArray technology to optimize RAID performance in multi-bay NAS systems. The Exos X22's helium-sealed design reduces friction and wear, enhancing durability and efficiency. Ideal for large data transfers, low latency, and massive scale-out data center applications, the Exos X22 ensures that data is always accessible and secure.

This model features Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology, providing robust data security and making it suitable for environments where data protection is paramount. The drive includes advanced RV sensors and dynamic fly-height technology to counteract vibration, ensuring consistent performance. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours and a comprehensive 5-year warranty, this drive is built to last. Additionally, IronWolf Health Management (IHM) offers real-time monitoring and preventive measures to maintain optimal drive health.
