The SEAGATE EXOS X16 16TB SAS 12GB/S 7200 RPM 256MB 512E 3.5 internal hard disk drive is designed for enterprise storage environments requiring high capacity and consistent performance. This 3.5-inch drive offers a 16TB capacity, suitable for data centers, cloud storage, and other large-scale applications where data density is a priority. It features a SAS 12Gb/s interface and operates at 7200 RPM, supported by a 256MB multisegmented cache for data access efficiency.
Key features include a Helium Sealed-Drive Design, Protection Information (T10 DIF), and SuperParity for data integrity. Power management technologies like PowerChoice Idle Power and PowerBalance are integrated to optimize energy consumption relative to performance demands. With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2,500,000 hours and a 0.35% Annualized Failure Rate (AFR), this drive is built for 24x7 operation. The ST16000NM002G also supports hot-plug functionality and offers dual interface ports, making it suitable for redundant or high-availability storage systems. It addresses the need for reliable, high-capacity storage in demanding IT infrastructures.
This drive uses a SAS interface with access speeds of 12.0 Gb/s, 6.0 Gb/s, and 3.0 Gb/s, providing compatibility with various SAS host adapters.
The drive supports 512e sector sizes (512, 520, 528 bytes per sector) and 4Kn sector sizes (4096, 4160, 4224 bytes per sector), offering flexibility for different system requirements.
The drive has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2,500,000 hours and a Reliability Rating at Full 24x7 Operation (AFR) of 0.35%, indicating its suitability for continuous operation in demanding environments.
Average idle power consumption is 5W. Maximum operating power for random read/write 4K/16Q is 10.2W and 6.2W respectively, requiring +12V and +5V power supply inputs.
