Capacity and interface

The Seagate Exos 7E10 ST10000NM017B is a 10 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes a 256 MB cache for sustained throughput in bulk-data workloads. The drive is built for 24×7 operation in enterprise storage arrays and servers. Average latency is rated at 4.16 ms.

Enterprise workloads and limits

This drive suits operators who need high-capacity, nearline storage for sequential workloads such as backup, archiving or media repositories. It is not for users who require the low latency or high IOPS of solid-state media, nor for systems that lack a 3.5 inch bay and standard SATA power and data connections.

SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface; the host must provide a compatible SATA port and 3.5 inch mounting space. The physical dimensions are 147.00 mm length, 101.85 mm width and 26.11 mm height. Verify that the chassis and backplane support these measurements before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the ST10000NM017B is running at 7200 RPM after installation?

Use a SMART monitoring tool to confirm the spindle speed reads 7200 RPM and check that average latency sits near 4.16 ms during idle operation.

What ships with the Exos 7E10 10 TB drive and what must I source separately?

The drive itself is included; SATA data and power cables, mounting screws and any hot-swap tray are not supplied and must be purchased separately.

Which capacity version of the Exos 7E10 line should I choose for a 24×7 bulk-storage array?

The 10 TB model provides 10 TB of raw capacity with 256 MB cache, matching the density and performance targets for mainstream enterprise workloads.
