Seagate Exos X16 3.5" 14TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SAS Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Seagate Exos X16 ST14000NM004G is an enterprise-grade internal hard drive designed for high-density storage environments such as data centers, cloud platforms, and large-scale surveillance systems. It provides 14 TB of capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, engineered for continuous 24/7 operation. The drive includes Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) technology, which offers hardware-level encryption to secure data at rest without impacting performance. Its construction is focused on meeting the total cost of ownership (TCO) requirements for hyperscale and cloud-based infrastructures.

This model operates with a spindle speed of 7,200 RPM and is equipped with a 256 MB cache to facilitate efficient data handling. The SAS 12 Gbit/s interface supports high-speed data transfers, achieving sustained read speeds of up to 261 MB/s. For enhanced reliability in multi-drive arrays, it incorporates rotational vibration (RV) sensors to maintain consistent performance under heavy workloads. The drive is rated for a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours and features end-to-end data protection to ensure data integrity from host to drive.
