About the Seagate ST10000NM0016 10TB 3.5-inch SATA Enterprise HDD
Designed for 24×7 nearline storage, sustained sequential workloads, and cold archive deployment, the Seagate ST10000NM0016 delivers enterprise-class reliability with a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2,000,000 hours. This 10TB capacity drive is engineered for data centre environments where uptime and consistent performance are non-negotiable. IT procurement teams and storage architects demanding high-capacity, dependable bulk storage will find this Seagate enterprise HDD meets demanding workload requirements across mission-critical infrastructure.
The ST10000NM0016 combines helium-sealed enclosure technology with Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) to achieve an areal density of up to 1,030Gb per square inch, maximizing storage density without sacrificing reliability. With a sustained annualized workload rating of 550TB/year and an annualized failure rate of 0.73%, this drive is built to perform in large-scale storage arrays and server environments. The SATA III 6Gb/s interface ensures compatibility with standard enterprise storage infrastructure, while the 256MB cache buffer and up to 254MB/s sustained transfer rate optimise throughput for sequential access patterns. Operating temperatures from 5°C to 60°C provide deployment flexibility across diverse data centre conditions.
