Product Detail

  • 18TB enterprise storage for hyperscale and data centers

  • 7200RPM spindle speed with up to 270MB/s transfer rate

  • Helium-sealed design for lower power and higher density

  • PowerChoice and PowerBalance optimize energy use

  • AES-256 encryption and Seagate Secure data protection

  • 2.5M hours MTBF with 5-year limited warranty

Product Overview

Moreover, the Seagate Exos X18, also known as ST18000NM000J, stands as Seagate’s 18 TB enterprise-class hard drive. Designed specifically to address hyperscale and data-center demands, it blends enormous storage capacity, robust performance, and proven reliability to empower modern infrastructure.

Product Features

Furthermore, the Exos X18 delivers:

  • Massive 18 TB capacity within a space-efficient 3.5″ form factor, maximizing rack storage at scale.

  • Helium-sealed drive design, which reduces internal turbulence, lowers power consumption, and supports dense platter stacking.

  • High performance: it spins at 7,200 RPM, achieves up to 270 MB/s sustained transfer rates, and supports 170 IOPS read / 550 IOPS write in random workloads.

  • Dual interface support: optimally integrates with both SATA 6 Gb/s and SAS 12 Gb/s environments.

  • Enterprise-grade reliability, featuring a 2.5 million-hour MTBF and workload rating up to 550 TB/year, ideal for continuous 24×7 operations.

  • Power optimization technologies like PowerChoice and PowerBalance, which let you balance energy use and performance dynamically.

  • Data protection safeguards, including AES-256 hardware encryption, Seagate Secure, secure erase features, and firmware-level defenses.

  • Enhanced resilience features: Super Parity, Low-Halogen materials, Hot-Plug support, Organic Solderability Preservative, and RSA 2048 firmware verification enhance durability, serviceability, and safety.

  • FastFormat capability that enables quick reformatting between 512e and 4Kn sector formats to suit system compatibility.

Why Choose This

  • For hyperscale and dense storage environments, the Exos X18 delivers unmatched 18 TB per drive efficiency, translating to more petabytes per rack.

  • It balances performance and reliability, ensuring consistent, high-throughput workloads with minimal downtime.

  • It slashes operational costs through helium sealing and power management, reducing cooling and energy overheads. Additionally, the 5-year warranty solidifies long-term trust.

  • It ensures data security and compliance, with enterprise-level encryption and secure retirement features.

  • It adapts seamlessly to existing infrastructure, via SATA or SAS interfaces and sector formatting flexibility.

Further Highlights

  • FastFormat flexibility ensures easy format transitions with data backup, allowing seamless integration or repurposing as needed.

  • Digital environmental sensors monitor conditions internally to maintain optimal performance and react to potential issues proactively.

  • Performance under pressure: Users in NAS enclosures report that while the drives run warm (~39–44 °C) and louder at full fan speed, their robust thermal tolerance (up to 60 °C) ensures stable operation.

  • Broad compatibility: It integrates easily with RAID arrays, distributed systems like Hadoop and Ceph, enterprise backups (D2D, virtual tape), surveillance systems, and cloud environments.
