Seagate ST16000NM001G Exos X16 16TB Enterprise Hard Drive – Brand New

Industry-First 16TB Storage for Hyperscale Data Centers

The Seagate ST16000NM001G Exos X16 16TB Enterprise Hard Drive is a high-capacity SATA drive designed for hyperscale and cloud data centers, built to address the demanding needs of massive scale-out storage environments. As the flagship of the Seagate X class, the Exos X16 was the industry's first 16TB drive, delivering 33% more petabytes per rack and setting a new standard for rack-space efficiency at the time of its release.

Built for Rack-Space Efficiency at Scale

This drive is made for data centers and enterprises that need to maximize storage density while minimizing power draw and physical footprint. A helium sealed-drive design lowers total cost of ownership through reduced power consumption and weight compared to air-filled drives, while next-generation helium side-sealing weld technology adds handling robustness and leak protection. Digital environmental sensors continuously monitor internal drive conditions to help maintain optimal operation and performance throughout the drive's service life.

Reliable, High-Performance Enterprise Design

This hyperscale SATA model is tuned for large data transfers with low latency, delivering enhanced caching performance well-suited to cloud data center and massive scale-out applications. The drive offers high instantaneous burst data-transfer rates of up to 600MB per second, along with Native Command Queuing to improve performance in demanding, high-IOPS applications. It carries a workload rating of up to 550TB per year and a 2.5-million-hour MTBF rating, reflecting the reliability standard expected of Seagate's enterprise-class drives, along with PowerChoice technology for selectable power savings during idle periods.

Built-In Data Security and Diagnostics

Select models support Seagate Secure hardware-based data security with instant secure erase, helping protect sensitive enterprise data and simplify secure decommissioning at end of life. The drive also supports S.M.A.R.T. monitoring and reporting, along with SeaTools diagnostic software that performs drive self-tests to help eliminate unnecessary returns.
