Seagate Exos X16 10TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" 256MB Cache ST10000NM001G internal hard drive

Enterprise 10 TB SATA drive

The Seagate Exos X16 ST10000NM001G is a 3.5-inch helium-sealed hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It delivers 10 TB of capacity over a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface, spinning at 7200 RPM with a 256 MB cache. A 2.5 million-hour MTBF rating and PowerBalance technology support continuous operation in rack-mounted environments.

Suited for high-capacity 3.5-inch bays

This drive fits servers and storage enclosures that accept standard 3.5-inch SATA drives and require high areal density. Buyers who need a 2.5-inch form factor, a different interface or a drive with included mounting hardware should look elsewhere. The bare-drive packaging assumes the chassis provides carrier trays and screws.

SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. The host backplane or controller must provide a matching SATA port and supply 12 V and 5 V power through the standard connector. Without a native SATA connection the drive cannot be installed.
