Enterprise Helium Hard Drive

The Seagate Exos X10 ST10000NM0096 is a 10TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage systems. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 256MB cache and uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface. The helium-sealed design supports high-capacity density in rack environments.

Suited For Rack Deployments

This drive targets administrators who need the industry's lowest power and weight for optimum data centre TCO. The PowerBalance feature optimises IOPS per watt for OLTP and HPC workloads. It is not for buyers who require a non-helium mechanism or an interface other than SAS for their controller.

10TB Capacity Decides Fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 10TB capacity delivered in a 3.5-inch form factor. This density provides 25 per cent more petabytes per rack compared to lower-capacity drives. Verify that your storage array supports 12Gb/s SAS and 512e sector formatting before purchase.

Questions about this item

What is the SAS 12Gb/s interface and what throughput does it cap at in practice?

The drive uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface, which caps at 12 Gb/s per port. The 256 MB cache and 7200 RPM spindle help sustain high sequential and random throughput for enterprise workloads.

What physical space and mounting does the 3.5" Exos X10 require?

The 3.5-inch form factor measures 147.00 mm long, 101.85 mm wide and 26.11 mm high, weighing 1.43 lb. It fits standard 3.5-inch drive bays and uses the SAS connector for hot-plug backplanes.

How is the ST10000NM0096 installed and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into a SAS hot-plug bay until the connector seats firmly, then secure it with the tray screws. The step often missed is verifying the controller detects the 12 Gb/s link speed and enables the 512e sector format before putting the drive into production.
