Capacity and Interface

The Seagate Exos X16 ST10000NM002G is a 10TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 256MB cache and connects via a SAS 12Gb/s interface. The helium-sealed design supports high-density racks and sustained workloads in cloud and scale-out data centres.

Enterprise buyers versus other users

This drive suits IT teams deploying bulk storage arrays, backup targets or cold-data tiers that can leverage SAS infrastructure and the 12Gb/s link speed. Buyers without a SAS controller or backplane, or who need a SATA connection for a desktop or small server, should look at a different model.

Deciding specification

The SAS 12Gb/s interface is the single factor that determines compatibility; the drive will only operate in systems equipped with a SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller that supports 12Gb/s signalling.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the ST10000NM002G is operating correctly after installation?

Check that the SAS 12Gb/s link negotiates at full speed, confirm the drive reports 10TB capacity and 256MB cache in the RAID controller BIOS, and listen for steady 7200 RPM spin-up without excessive vibration.

What ships with the ST10000NM002G and what must I source separately?

The drive itself in retail or OEM packing; you must supply SAS data and power cables, a compatible 12Gb/s HBA or RAID card, and a 3.5-inch drive bay with cooling.

Which Exos X16 capacity should I choose for a new storage array?

This model is the 10TB version; the series also offers 12TB and 16TB capacities — select based on the total raw space and Watts-per-TB target your array design requires.
