About the Seagate Exos X16 16TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s 3.5-inch Enterprise HDD
Designed for 24×7 nearline, sustained sequential, and cold archive workloads, the Seagate Exos X16 16TB Enterprise HDD delivers exceptional reliability with an MTBF rating of 2,500,000 hours. This 3.5-inch SAS drive (part number ST16000NM002G) combines high capacity with enterprise-grade durability, making it the ideal choice for storage architects and IT procurement teams deploying large-scale data centers that demand consistent performance and uptime.
The Exos X16 leverages Seagate's proven Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) technology to achieve a sustained transfer rate of up to 261 MB/s, backed by a 256 MB cache buffer and dual-port SAS 12Gb/s connectivity. With an annualized workload rating of 550 TB/year, this drive handles demanding enterprise applications while maintaining low operational power consumption of 9.8 W during random read operations and just 5.4 W when idle. Built-in rotational vibration compensation via RV sensors ensures stability in densely packed storage environments. The drive supports user-selectable sector sizes (512e and 4Kn) and operates reliably across temperatures from 5°C to 60°C, with non-operating shock tolerance of 250 Gs / 2 ms for enhanced durability during transport and installation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Seagate Exos X16 16TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s 3.5-inch Enterprise HDD
What workloads is the Seagate Exos X16 16TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s 3.5-inch Enterprise HDD designed for?
Enterprise mixed-use and ri workloads — including transactional databases, AI inference data, virtualisation, hyperconverged storage, and analytics. Endurance is rated for sustained 24/7 operation, not consumer-style burst use.
Will this SSD work in my Dell / HPE / Lenovo server?
Most enterprise SSDs ship in vendor-branded variants tied to a server QVL. Share your server model and we will quote the correctly-branded SKU (Dell-genuine, HPE-genuine, Lenovo-genuine) so support and firmware update tooling work without complaints.
Do you provide support support locally?
Yes. All units are sourced through distribution, so support registers cleanly with the manufacturer (Samsung / Kioxia / Solidigm / Micron / WD / Seagate) and DOA replacement is handled through our Dubai operations within 5 business days for UAE/GCC.
How do I get a quote for a bulk order?
Use the RFQ form on this page with your quantity and destination. For larger and project-scale orders we engage the vendor directly to prepare a tailored quote, and our pre-sales team follows up with a vendor-confirmed quote.
