Seagate Exos X16 10TB Standart SAS

The Seagate Exos X16 10TB Standart SAS hard disk ranks among the high load internal HDDs for the NAS storage solution environment. The 3.5" format is designed primarily for desktop computers and data centres. One of the key parameters is obviously the rotational speed. The 7200 RPM RPM provides better system response across the board. You can look forward to a total data capacity of 10000 GB. The device uses a 256 MB memory cache. All the data communication between the Seagate hard drive and a computer or other device takes place via the SAS interface.

Other Hard Disk Features

The HDD boasts a unique design. Inside the enclosure there is a mechanism that utilises moving platters, complete with hard disk heads that read and write the data. These mechanical parts are admittedly more sensitive to shocks, but this design delivers an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The key criterion that affects the speed of a platter hard disk is the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). In case of the Seagate Exos X16 10TB Standart SAS, you get 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. This is great news for people who demand more from their devices, for example video editors, graphic artists, people who play PC games, and everybody else who deal with large amounts of data. System responsivity and overall stability is also determined by the disk buffer - the so-called cache. The Seagate hard disk features a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their prompt retrieval and reading.

Connecting the Seagate Hard Drive

If you want to install the Seagate Exos X16 10TB Standart SAS in your PC or other device, it requires a 3.5" slot. The communication between the HDD and PC takes place via the SAS interface with a standard speed of 12.0 Gbit/s. This technology is fairly rare nowadays.
