16 TB SATA desktop drive

The Dell 39XRY is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with 16 TB capacity and a 6 Gbps SATA interface. It spins at 7.2K rpm and uses 512e sector formatting for broad compatibility. The unit is supplied new and carries the Exos X16 platform designation.

Fits 3.5 inch SATA bays in listed PowerEdge servers

The drive installs directly into standard 3.5 inch drive bays that provide SATA power and data connections. It is validated for a wide range of Dell PowerEdge rack and tower models including R740, R750, R760, T140, T350 and XE7420 among others. No adapter or caddy is mentioned in the specifications. The 512e format allows it to work with legacy and modern operating systems alike.

7.2K rpm spindle with SATA power profile

At 7.2K rpm the drive produces typical mechanical noise levels for nearline storage and draws power within the SATA specification during normal operation. Thermals are managed by the server chassis airflow across the 3.5 inch form factor. Firmware is updated before shipment to ensure stable performance in supported PowerEdge systems.

Questions about this item

Will the 7.2K RPM speed limit sustained write throughput on this 16TB drive?

The 7.2K RPM spindle caps sustained transfer rates to the SATA 6Gbps interface maximum, so long sequential workloads will hit that ceiling first.

How much heat and noise does the Exos X16 produce during all-day operation in a server chassis?

As a 3.5-inch helium-sealed enterprise drive, it runs cooler and quieter than air-filled equivalents, but exact acoustics and thermal output depend on your chassis airflow.

Which drive carrier or caddy is required to mount this 3.5-inch SATA drive in a Dell PowerEdge R740?

You need the Dell 3.5-inch hot-plug drive tray that matches your specific PowerEdge generation; the drive itself uses a standard SATA connector.
