28 TB Enterprise SATA Hard Drive

The Seagate Exos X 28TB is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise NAS and hyperscale storage. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 512MB cache and uses a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. The helium-sealed design supports 28TB capacity in a standard form factor.

SATA 6.0Gb/s Interface Limits

The drive connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s link, so maximum throughput cannot exceed that bus speed. Average latency is 4.16ms at 7200 RPM. Sustained transfer rates will be bounded by the SATA interface rather than the drive media.

Check Bay Space And Power Budget

Verify your chassis has a 3.5-inch bay with at least 26.10mm height, 101.85mm width and 147.00mm length clearance. Ensure the power supply delivers sufficient 12V and 5V current for a 7200 RPM helium drive. Confirm the motherboard or controller provides a SATA 6.0Gb/s port.

Questions about this item

Which capacity version of the Seagate Exos X should I choose for a high-density NAS build?

The ST28000NM000C provides 28TB in a single 3.5-inch drive, letting you reach multiple petabytes per rack with fewer bays than lower-capacity models.

What does the 7200 RPM rating mean for daily throughput in a RAID array?

At 7200 RPM with 4.16ms average latency and a 512MB cache, the drive sustains the high sequential speeds needed for large-file workloads such as backup, media ingest, and distributed file systems.

How does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface limit real-world transfer rates?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s link caps the theoretical maximum at 6.0Gb/s, so sustained reads and writes will top out below that ceiling once protocol overhead and drive mechanics are accounted for.
