The Seagate Exos X24 16 TB 3.5″ SATA Enterprise HDD is engineered for large-scale, always-on data center environments. This drive combines extremely high capacity with enterprise-grade reliability, delivering scalable storage for cloud, hyperscale, and scale-out applications. With a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 512 MB cache, Exos X24 ensures fast access to data while maintaining a strong performance-per-watt profile.
Built on a helium-sealed design, the drive reduces friction and thermal stress, thereby improving power efficiency and long-term durability. It supports continuous 24×7 operation with an annual workload rating of up to 550 TB/year, making it ideal for mission-critical applications. To stabilize performance in dense arrays, the Exos X24 is equipped with rotational vibration (RV) sensors that maintain drive consistency even in racks with multiple spinning disks.
The drive also leverages Seagate’s PowerChoice™ and PowerBalance™ technologies, which let data center administrators tune power consumption to match performance demands. For organizations requiring data security, the Exos X24 supports Seagate Secure, offering hardware-based encryption to safeguard data at rest.
With an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of approximately 2.5 million hours, the Exos X24 delivers long-term reliability and low risk of failure. Backed by a 5-year Seagate warranty, this enterprise HDD is built to deliver cost-effective, high-density storage for the most demanding workloads.
