DELL 20TB 7.2K 512e 6Gbps SATA 3.5 internal hard drive Exos X20

20 TB SATA 3.5-inch hard drive

This 20 TB SATA 3.5-inch hard drive operates at 7.2K RPM with a 512e sector format and 6 Gbps transfer rate. It is built for desktop and server storage where large capacity and standard connectivity are required. The drive is new and carries the Exos X20 designation from the manufacturer.

Fits standard SATA bays and Dell PowerEdge servers

The SATA interface connects directly to any compatible motherboard or controller without extra adapters. It is validated for a wide range of Dell PowerEdge models including R440, R640, R740, R740XD, R750, R760, T440, T640 and many others. Using this drive frees up PCIe slots for other expansion cards because it relies on the native SATA infrastructure.

Sustained workloads at 7.2K RPM

The 7.2K spindle speed delivers consistent throughput for sequential reads and writes during extended operations such as backups, archiving or video surveillance recording. The 512e format maintains compatibility with legacy operating systems while the 6 Gbps link keeps the data path from becoming a bottleneck. It is not intended for high-IOPS transactional databases or latency-sensitive boot volumes.
