Seagate Exos X28 28TB Enterprise Hard Drive

The Seagate Exos X28 is a 28TB enterprise-class nearline hard drive engineered for high-capacity storage infrastructure requiring maximum density and reliability. Built on conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology, the X28 delivers sequential performance optimized for large-scale data center deployments, particularly in hyperscale and cloud environments where cost-per-TB economics drive architecture decisions.

Designed for continuous operation in demanding multi-bay enclosures, the Exos X28 combines 28TB capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, enabling organizations to maximize storage density within existing rack and power constraints. The drive integrates Seagate's enterprise-grade reliability features and thermal management to support continuous-duty cycles in temperature-controlled data center environments.

The X28 addresses the enterprise segment's transition toward higher-capacity nearline drives for secondary storage, archival integration, and cost-optimized refresh cycles targeting 2025–2026 deployments. Early adoption spans hyperscale operators, cloud service providers, and enterprise storage teams evaluating next-generation capacity points for petabyte-scale infrastructure modernization.

Ideal for

• Hyperscale data center storage expansion requiring maximum capacity density per rack unit
• Cloud service provider object storage clusters optimizing cost-per-terabyte economics
• Enterprise NAS and SAN environments consolidating legacy multi-drive configurations
• Warm/cool-tier archival and backup infrastructure for long-term retention workloads
• Secondary storage for analytics, big data, and unstructured data repositories
• High-capacity RAID arrays in managed service provider (MSP) colocation facilities
