About the Seagate ST22000NM000C 22TB 3.5-inch SATA Enterprise HDD
The Seagate ST22000NM000C delivers 22TB capacity at 7200 RPM, positioning this drive in the high-capacity enterprise storage tier for data-intensive workloads. Built on the proven Exos X22 series, this 3.5-inch SATA drive combines massive density with proven reliability, making it ideal for storage architects and IT procurement teams planning next-generation data center infrastructure.
The ST22000NM000C leverages helium-sealed, multi-platter technology to achieve its exceptional 22TB formatted capacity while maintaining a sustained transfer rate of up to 285MB/s. With a 256MB cache buffer and support for a 550TB/year workload rate, this Seagate enterprise HDD suits high-throughput environments including NAS systems, backup appliances, and archival platforms. Dual-plane rotational vibration compensation ensures stable operation in multi-drive enclosures, while the 2,500,000-hour MTBF rating reflects enterprise-grade durability. Power efficiency remains competitive—drawing just 9.45W during random read/write operations and 5.30W at idle—helping minimize total cost of ownership in large deployments. The drive's tolerance for operating shock (70G, 2ms) and non-operating shock (250G, 2ms) protects against handling and shipping impacts.
