Seagate Exos X16 16TB 3.5" 7200RPM SAS Enterprise Internal Hard Drive

The Seagate ST16000NM002G is a 3.5-inch enterprise hard drive built on the Exos X16 platform. It delivers 16TB of raw capacity through a 12Gb/s SAS interface, giving data center teams an easy way to add vast storage without changing existing backplanes.

Spin speed tops out at 7200 RPM, and a 256MB cache works with Seagate’s advanced caching technology to keep transfers moving smoothly under heavy load. The result is consistent throughput that supports demanding tasks such as large-scale analytics, virtualization, media streaming, and backup rotation.

A helium-sealed enclosure lowers internal friction, which in turn reduces power draw and heat. This design lets densely packed racks run cooler and extends the drive’s service life in 24/7 environments where every watt counts.

Reliability is backed by a 2.5 million hour MTBF rating and a five-year limited warranty. Built-in Seagate Secure features help protect data at rest, adding another layer of confidence for regulated industries or multi-tenant clouds.

Whether you manage a hyperscale cloud, an on-premises SAN, or a backup appliance, this drive offers the capacity, performance, and endurance needed to keep critical data online and accessible around the clock.
