High-capacity helium-sealed drive
The Seagate Exos X24 ST12000NM002H is a 12 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for continuous operation in servers and storage arrays. Its helium-sealed design reduces internal turbulence, allowing seven platters to spin at 7200 RPM within a standard drive height. The drive uses conventional magnetic recording and supports both 512e and 4Kn sector formats for broad system compatibility.
285 MB/s sustained transfer rate
The maximum sustained transfer rate of 285 MB/s (272 MiB/s) at the outer diameter is the single figure that tells you whether this drive can feed your workload fast enough. It connects via a single-port SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface that also negotiates at 3.0 Gb/s for older backplanes. A 512 MB multisegmented cache helps smooth burst traffic before data reaches the platters.
8.9 W typical under random load
Under sustained random 4K read/write at queue depth 16 the drive draws 8.9 W (7.1 W write), well below the 6.3 W idle average. PowerChoice and PowerBalance technologies throttle consumption during quiet periods while keeping the spindle at speed. The 2.5 million-hour MTBF and 0.35 % annualised failure rate are rated for 8760 power-on hours per year in 24×7 environments.

Fragen zu diesem Artikel
How much data can I actually store on this 12 TB drive after formatting?
The drive offers a raw capacity of 12 TB; usable space after formatting depends on the operating system and file system chosen, which typically reserve a small portion for overhead.
What real-world throughput does the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface allow for this model?
The SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface supports the drive’s maximum sustained transfer rate of 285 MB/s, with the interface also backward compatible to 3.0 Gb/s.
Will this 3.5-inch helium-sealed drive fit a standard desktop drive bay and mounting points?
Yes, it uses the standard 3.5-inch form factor with conventional mounting holes and a single SATA interface port for power and data.
