Seagate Exos X18 3.5" 16TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive, Enterprise

The Seagate Exos X18 ST16000NM000J is an internal hard drive engineered for enterprise environments, including servers and high-capacity workstations. It provides 16 TB of storage within a standard 3.5-inch form factor and connects via a SATA III interface capable of 6 Gbit/s transfer speeds. The drive utilizes a Helium Sealed-Drive Design, which reduces internal friction and power consumption for improved operational efficiency and durability. This construction is optimized for high-density storage configurations commonly found in modern data center applications.

Performance is facilitated by a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 256 MB cache, which work together to achieve sustained data transfer rates up to 258 MB/s. The drive is rated for a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours and is designed for continuous 24/7 operation. Integrated rotational vibration sensors help maintain consistent performance in multi-drive systems by mitigating external disturbances. It also includes support for S.M.A.R.T. for drive health monitoring and is compatible with hot-swap system configurations for simplified maintenance.
