Seagate Exos 10TB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA 6 Gb/s Internal Enterprise HDD

The Seagate ST10000NM0016 is an Exos series 10 TB 3.5 inch internal hard disk drive built for enterprise storage systems that run around the clock. It connects through a SATA 6 Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM, delivering steady throughput that fits easily into existing servers and RAID shelves.

A helium-filled enclosure keeps internal friction low, which helps the drive stay cool and lowers power usage to about 4.5 W when idle and roughly 8.0 W during active transfers. Digital sensors measure temperature, pressure and humidity, giving monitoring tools accurate data to maintain optimal operating conditions.

The drive carries a 2.5 million-hour mean time between failures and a 0.35 % annualized failure rate, so it is ready for continuous duty in demanding data centers. A 256 MB multi-segmented cache smooths out burst activity, and support for hot-plug operations and rapid RAID rebuilds minimizes downtime during maintenance.

Use it to expand dense cloud nodes, strengthen long-term backup repositories or build high-capacity JBOD arrays. Administrators who need reliable performance, predictable power consumption and large scale density will find this model a practical choice for private clouds, media archives and enterprise IT environments.
