Seagate 10TB Exos 7E10 Enterprise Hard Drive (HDD), 3.5" SATA III, 7200 RPM, 256MB Cache, 263MB/s, 2M Hrs MTBF | ST10000NM017B

The Seagate Exos 7E10 ST10000NM017B is specifically engineered to handle the world’s most demanding enterprise workloads. As part of the Exos seventh-generation series, this 10TB drive provides a cost-effective path to scaling your data center or high-capacity NAS. By utilizing Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) technology, it ensures high-speed data integrity and write performance that remains consistent even under heavy, continuous use.

Key Features

• Enterprise-Grade Performance: With a 263 MB/s maximum sustained transfer rate, the Exos 7E10 is among the fastest 10TB air-filled drives available. The 7200 RPM spindle speed and 256MB cache—enhanced by 8MB of internal NOR flash for advanced write caching—ensure low latency and rapid data access.
• FastFormat™ Technology: This drive supports both 512e and 4Kn logical formats. This "FastFormat" capability allows you to easily switch between sectors, ensuring the drive is compatible with both legacy systems and modern, high-performance infrastructures.
• Power Optimization: Integrated with PowerChoice™ and PowerBalance™ technologies, the ST10000NM017B allows for superior control over power consumption. You can customize your idle power settings to reduce TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) without sacrificing the performance required for random read/write tasks.
• 24x7 Reliability: Designed for a 2,000,000-hour MTBF, this drive is rated for 8,760 power-on hours per year. It is built to withstand the rotational vibration common in multi-drive rack systems, ensuring stable performance in dense storage arrays.

Built for the Data Center The Exos 7E10 features SuperParity and advanced error correction to maintain data integrity across the life of the drive. Its rugged physical build allows it to operate in temperatures up to 60°C, while its 5-year limited warranty provides the long-term peace of mind required for enterprise-level investments.

Why This Product Stands Out The ST10000NM017B stands out as a reliable "workhorse" for enterprise storage. While newer helium drives dominate the ultra-high capacities, this 10TB CMR drive offers a proven, high-speed architecture for organizations that need a balance of performance, high capacity, and a lower entry price point for their server racks or high-end NAS units.
