Seagate Exos X16 10TB 3.5" SAS 12Gb/s Enterprise HDD

The Seagate ST10000NM002G is a 3.5 inch enterprise hard drive in the Exos X16 family that offers 10TB of capacity for organizations that need to keep large data sets online without sacrificing performance. It connects through a 12Gb/s SAS interface, making it a natural fit for servers, storage arrays, and JBOD enclosures that benefit from dual port connectivity and consistent throughput.

A spindle speed of 7200 RPM works alongside a 256MB cache to deliver fast access to both random and sequential workloads. When heavy data blocks need to move quickly, the drive sustains up to 245MB per second so backup jobs, analytics tasks, or media workflows finish on schedule.

Seagate uses a helium sealed enclosure and its PowerBalance technology to lower friction and fine-tune power use, helping data center operators cut energy bills and keep racks cooler. These design choices support a mean time between failures of 2.5 million hours, giving IT teams confidence to run the drive around the clock.

Built-in Seagate Secure features provide hardware based encryption and Instant Secure Erase, simplifying compliance and making drive retirement straightforward. Whether you are expanding a cloud cluster, refreshing a RAID pool, or archiving surveillance footage, the Exos X16 delivers the capacity, speed, and durability that modern enterprises expect.
