Seagate Exos X16 16TB 3.5" 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s HDD

The Seagate ST16000NM004G is a hard drive that offers 16TB of capacity for enterprise storage systems. It fits any 3.5 inch bay, spins at 7200 RPM, and relies on a 256MB cache to keep data moving smoothly. The drive connects through a 12Gb/s SAS interface, so it is ready for infrastructures that demand both high bandwidth and dual path connectivity.

Administrators who manage data centers, backup appliances, or video surveillance archives can slot this drive into existing SAS backplanes without shutting down the system because it is hot pluggable. Support for both 512e and 4Kn sector formats simplifies mixed environment deployments, letting you accommodate legacy applications while preparing for native 4K workloads.

Whether you are expanding a RAID array, building a petabyte scale object store, or replacing aging disks in a SAN, the Seagate Exos X16 platform focuses on delivering consistent performance around the clock. Its large cache helps smooth out demanding write bursts, and the 7200 RPM spindle speed keeps read latency predictable for virtual machines, analytics, and content streaming.
