Designed to address the needs of the hyperscale storage market, the 10TB Exos X14 7200rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal Hard Drive from Seagate delivers large storage capacities for high rack space efficiency. This 14TB drive operates using a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, a 256MB cache, and a rotational speed of 7200 rpm, all of which help to ensure uninterrupted data transfers with a sustained rate of up to 261 MB/s. This drive also features high levels of reliability, 1 sector per 1015 non-recoverable read errors per bits read, 2.5 million hours MTBF, an annualized failure rate (AFR) of 0.35% for full 24/7 operation, 4.16 ms latency, and 8760 power-on hours per year (24/7).

General Features:

• 10TB storage capacity per drive for more petabytes per rack

• Low power and weight for an improved data center TCO

• Suitable for big data applications, thanks to its 10TB capacity and enhanced caching

• PowerBalance feature helps optimize IOPS and power values

• A helium-sealed drive design has no porosity and uniform density

• Strong materials and a weld-width design allow for a more robust, hermetically sealed drive enclosure that helps protect against helium leaks

• Digital environmental sensors measure the drive's internal pressure, helping to ensure high reliability, performance, and quality

• Hermetic interconnect technology supports higher data rate heads and higher pin counts for more extreme thermal conditions

• Enterprise-class reliability that is backed by a 2.5 million hour MTBF rating

Best Fit Applications:

• Hyperscale applications/cloud data centers

• Massive scale-out data centers

• Big data applications

• High-capacity density RAID storage

• Mainstream enterprise external storage arrays

• Distributed file systems, including Hadoop and Ceph

• Enterprise backup and restore - D2D, virtual tape

• Centralized surveillance
