About the Seagate Exos X22 22TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch SED Enterprise HDD
SATA 6Gb/s, 3.5-inch enterprise HDD with 2,500,000-hour MTBF and 0.35% annualized failure rate, the Seagate Exos X22 delivers 22TB of dependable capacity for high-capacity, high-availability storage infrastructures. Built on conventional magnetic recording technology and rated for up to 1,345 Gb/in² areal density, this drive combines massive capacity with proven reliability metrics that matter to enterprise data center operators and storage architects planning mission-critical deployments.
The Exos X22 (part number ST22000NM003E) operates at 7,200 RPM with a sustained transfer rate of up to 285MB/s and includes 256MB of cache for consistent performance under load. Hardware-level security is built in through SED AES-256 encryption with TCG Enterprise compliance, protecting sensitive data at rest without requiring host-side overhead. Designed for 550TB/year workload demands, the drive consumes just 9.2W during typical read/write operations and 5.4W at idle, reducing power and cooling costs in large-scale deployments. Dual-plane rotational vibration compensation sensors minimize resonance issues in dense multi-drive environments, while operating ranges of 5°C to 60°C and shock tolerance of 70G over 2ms support flexible installation scenarios.
Typical Enterprise Workloads
- Large-scale NAS and SAN systems requiring petabyte-class capacity with low power budgets
- Cloud storage backends and object storage clusters prioritizing cost-per-TB efficiency
- Surveillance and video archiving platforms with sustained sequential access patterns
- Tape-alternative backup repositories where encryption and reliability are non-negotiable
- Data warehouse and analytics platforms needing dense, warm storage tiers

Frequently Asked Questions about Seagate Exos X22 22TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch SED Enterprise HDD
What workloads is the Seagate Exos X22 22TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch SED 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.
