Product Features – Full Details
1. Massive 16TB Capacity:
Engineered for hyperscale applications, the Exos X16 delivers an immense 16TB of storage, enabling businesses to store vast amounts of structured and unstructured data. Additionally, it helps maximize storage density in rack-mounted servers and systems.
2. Advanced Helium Technology:
Seagate uses helium-sealed technology to reduce friction inside the drive, which decreases power consumption and thermal output. As a result, data centers can reduce cooling requirements and increase rack density with less concern over heat.
3. Enterprise-Class Reliability:
The drive offers an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 2.5 million hours and supports workloads up to 550TB/year. Therefore, it fits perfectly in 24/7 mission-critical environments where downtime isn’t an option.
4. Power-Efficient Performance:
Despite its size and performance, the Exos X16 operates with just 6.3W average idle power. Thus, it plays a pivotal role in reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) across large-scale deployments.
5. Versatile Integration:
Compatible with both traditional and advanced storage infrastructures, the drive features SATA 6Gb/s interface for seamless installation. In addition, it supports SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) options for added data security (model-dependent).
6. Enhanced Caching & Fast Response:
With a 256MB cache buffer, the Exos X16 provides fast read/write access, which improves overall system performance. Notably, this makes it ideal for both archival storage and real-time data processing.
