Dell EXOS X10 10 TB SAS drive
The Dell ST10000NM0256 EXOS X10 is a new 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop and server storage. It delivers a 10 TB capacity on a 12 Gb/s SAS interface spinning at 7200 RPM.
Suits SAS hosts needing bulk capacity
This drive fits systems that accept a 3.5-inch SAS device and require high-capacity nearline storage. Buyers whose platforms lack a SAS controller or backplane should look at something else.

Questions about this item
What usable capacity does the 10TB rating give once the drive is formatted in a server?
The drive provides 10TB of raw storage; formatted capacity will be slightly lower after file-system overhead.
How does the SAS 12Gb/s interface limit real-world throughput?
The 12Gb/s SAS link caps sustained transfer at the interface level, while actual throughput depends on the 7200RPM mechanical speed.
Will this 3.5-inch SAS drive fit a standard hot-swap bay in a Dell PowerEdge chassis?
Yes, the 3.5-inch form factor matches standard enterprise hot-swap trays that accept SAS connectors.
