Seagate Exos 7E10 2 TB enterprise drive

The Seagate Exos 7E10 ST2000NM018B is a new 2 TB internal hard drive built for enterprise bulk-data workloads. It spins at 7200 RPM and uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface. The series supports up to 10 TB per drive and is rated for 247 operation with a 2 million hour MTBF and 550 TB annual workload capacity.

SAS 12Gb/s interface practical limits

The drive requires a SAS 12Gb/s host bus adapter or backplane to reach its rated transfer speed. Performance will fall back to the lowest negotiated link rate in the chain. Cabling, expander topology and controller firmware all affect sustained throughput in multi-drive arrays.

Verify controller and bay compatibility

Confirm that your server or storage chassis accepts 3.5-inch SAS drives and that the controller supports SAS 12Gb/s speeds. Check available drive bays, power budget and cooling for 7200 RPM operation. Ensure the operating system or hypervisor includes drivers for the specific HBA in use.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2 TB version or the 10 TB version for my storage needs?

The 2 TB model suits smaller bulk-data sets while the 10 TB option handles larger enterprise workloads; both use the same SAS 12Gb/s interface and 7200 RPM spindle.

What does the 7200 RPM speed deliver in a live server?

7200 RPM provides consistent throughput for 247 bulk-data operations and supports workloads up to 550 TB per year.

How does the SAS 12Gb/s interface limit real-world transfer rates?

The SAS 12Gb/s link caps the drive at 12 Gb/s, so sustained reads and writes cannot exceed that bus ceiling.
