Seagate ST16000NM002G Exos X16 16tb SAS 12Gbps 3.5inch Hard Drive – Brand New

Enterprise-Grade Storage for Hyperscale and Data Center Workloads

The Seagate ST16000NM002G Exos X16 16TB SAS 12Gbps 3.5-inch Hard Drive is a flagship enterprise HDD designed for data centers, cloud storage providers, and businesses that need maximum capacity and reliability at scale. As the flagship of the Seagate X class, the Exos X16 delivers the industry's first 16TB drive, offering 33% more petabytes per rack compared to earlier generations, making it a top choice for hyperscale and massive scale-out storage environments.

Built for Maximum Rack Density and Performance

This drive is made for organizations that need to maximize storage capacity while minimizing rack space and operating costs. Its 16TB capacity, combined with enhanced caching, delivers the highest performance available in a 16TB hard drive, making it well-suited to cloud data centers and large-scale distributed storage systems. A helium sealed-drive design reduces power consumption and weight compared to air-filled drives, lowering the total cost of ownership across large deployments, while next-generation helium side-sealing weld technology adds handling robustness and leak protection for long-term reliability.

Built-In Monitoring and Reliability Features

The Exos X16 includes digital environmental sensors that continuously monitor internal drive conditions to help maintain optimal operation and performance over time. With a Mean Time Between Failures rating of 2.5 million hours and a workload rate suited to continuous, heavy-duty use, this drive is engineered for the demands of 24/7 enterprise operation. PowerChoice idle power and power/performance technologies help optimize energy consumption without sacrificing responsiveness.

Versatile Enterprise Applications

This drive is well-suited to a broad range of enterprise use cases, including hyperscale and cloud data center applications, big data workloads, high-capacity density RAID storage, mainstream enterprise external storage arrays, distributed file systems such as Hadoop and Ceph, enterprise backup and restore (D2D, virtual tape), and centralized surveillance storage.
