  • 5 million hour MTBF supports continuous enterprise workloads
  • 5 W idle power reduces rack energy consumption

10 TB enterprise SAS drive

The Seagate ST10000NM0096 is a 10 TB internal hard drive built for enterprise workloads. It spins at 7200 RPM and connects through a SAS 12.0 Gb/s interface with a 256 MB cache. The 3.5 inch form factor fits standard enterprise drive bays.

Suited for high-capacity arrays

This drive suits administrators building high-capacity storage arrays or nearline archives that demand sustained throughput. Buyers who need a single drive for a desktop without a SAS controller should look elsewhere, as the interface requires compatible host hardware.

SAS 12.0 Gb/s interface decides fit

The SAS 12.0 Gb/s interface is the specification that determines compatibility. A system must provide a SAS backplane or controller with matching signalling, plus +12 V and +5 V power rails. Without that connection the drive cannot operate.

  • 7200 RPM spindle speed enables fast sequential access
  • SAS 12.0 Gb/s interface delivers 254 MB/s sustained throughput
  • 5 million hour MTBF supports continuous enterprise workloads
  • 5 W idle power reduces rack energy consumption

Questions about this item

What does the 254 MB/s sustained transfer rate mean once the drive is installed in a server?

It is the maximum sequential throughput the drive can deliver to the SAS controller under typical workloads, so large-file copies or backup streams will top out near that figure.

What does the SAS 12.0 Gb/s interface cap in practice?

The 12.0 Gb/s link sets the bus ceiling, but the drive's own media limit of 254 MB/s sustained is reached well before the interface saturates.

What physical space and mounting does this 3.5-inch drive require?

It fits a standard 3.5-inch by 1.0-inch bay measuring 101.85 mm wide, 147.00 mm deep and 26.11 mm high, and weighs 650.0 g.
