Enterprise 16TB SAS drive
This Seagate Exos X16 is a 16TB helium-sealed hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 256MB cache and connects through a SAS 12Gb/s interface. The 3.5-inch form factor fits standard server drive bays and supports hot-plug installation.
Suited for RAID arrays and bulk archives
IT teams managing high-capacity RAID sets, backup targets or video surveillance storage will benefit from the 2.5 million-hour MTBF and 550TB annual workload rating. Systems without a SAS controller or without server-class cooling cannot use this drive.
SAS 12Gb/s interface requirement
The drive communicates exclusively over a 12Gb/s SAS link, so the host controller must provide a compatible SAS port. Without that specific interface the drive will not function, regardless of available power or bay space.

Spørgsmål om denne vare
Should I pick the 16TB helium model or a smaller air-filled drive?
The 16TB helium-sealed design lowers drag and power draw to 5.0 W idle and 10.2 W active while keeping 7200 RPM performance.
What does the 261 MB/s maximum read speed mean once the drive is in a server?
That is the peak sequential throughput; random workloads drop to 170 read IOPS and 440 write IOPS with 4.2 ms latency.
Will the SAS 12Gb/s interface run at full speed on my controller?
The SAS 12Gb/s link caps at 12 Gb/s, but actual throughput depends on the controller and backplane negotiation.
