Seagate Exos X10 10TB 3.5" 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s Internal HDD

The Seagate ST10000NM0096 is a 10 TB hard drive that gives enterprise teams the space, speed, and durability they need to keep large volumes of data online around the clock. Sitting in a standard 3.5 inch bay, it spins at 7200 RPM and uses a SAS interface that moves data at up to 12 Gb/s, so daily workloads such as virtualization, video surveillance archives, and cloud backup finish quickly and predictably.

With sustained transfer rates that reach 254 MB/s and a 256 MB cache, the drive handles everything from rapid transactional databases to heavy sequential jobs like high-performance computing or media streaming. PowerBalance technology fine-tunes power use against IOPS, helping data center operators manage energy budgets without sacrificing throughput.

Reliability sits at the heart of the design. An MTBF rating of 2.5 million hours, continuous 24/7 duty, and onboard digital environmental sensors all work together to keep data safe in dense rack deployments and multi-drive RAID enclosures. The 512e sector format simplifies drop-in replacement for systems that expect traditional sector sizes, saving time during large-scale rollouts.

Whether you are expanding a hyperscale build-out, refreshing a tape-to-disk backup tier, or adding capacity to a research cluster, this drive offers a balanced mix of performance, endurance, and easy integration that lets IT teams stay focused on the applications that matter.
