The Seagate Exos X10 ST10000NM0096 is an enterprise-class, high-capacity internal hard disk drive engineered for demanding data center and server environments. Offering 10 TB of storage capacity in a 3.5″ form factor, this drive delivers a balance of performance, durability, and large-scale data handling ideal for mission-critical systems and 24/7 operations.
Designed with a 12 Gb/s SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, the Exos X10 supports fast, reliable connectivity for high throughput and scalable storage arrays. Its 7200 RPM spindle speed and 256 MB cache help maintain solid sequential transfer performance—up to ~254 MB/s sustained—making it suitable for bulk storage, RAID configurations, and large data workloads.
This model features enterprise-grade reliability with a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, helium-sealed design for improved thermal performance and lower power consumption, and built-in environmental sensors that monitor temperature, pressure, and humidity to optimize health and uptime.
Key Features:
10 TB storage capacity — ample space for large data sets and backups.
SAS 12 Gb/s interface — high-speed enterprise connectivity.
7200 RPM & 256 MB cache — balanced performance for sequential workloads.
Helium-sealed drive — reduced power draw and thermals for data center efficiency.
