The Seagate Exos X24 24TB Enterprise Hard Drive (Model: ST24000NM002H) is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern hyperscale data centers, enterprise cloud storage, and high-density multi-bay storage systems. Engineered to optimize rack space and reduce overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), the Exos X24 series features an advanced helium side-sealed enclosure that lowers internal air resistance, reduces operating temperatures, and minimizes power consumption.
Utilizing native Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) technology, the ST24000NM002H provides consistent, high-speed write performance across heavy enterprise workloads without the latency penalties of SMR technology. With a 7200 RPM spindle speed, an expanded 512 MB multisegmented cache, and a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, it achieves sustained data transfer rates up to 285 MB/s. Built for continuous 24/7 operation, it includes advanced Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors, PowerChoice and PowerBalance technologies for intelligent energy management, and a high workload rating of 550 TB/year backed by a 2.5 million-hour MTBF rating.
Comprehensive Key Features:
24TB Maximum Storage Density: Delivers high storage capacity in a standard 3.5-inch footprint to maximize data center floor space and storage racks.
Helium Side-Sealed Design: Hermetically sealed chassis reduces internal friction, lowers heat dissipation, and boosts power efficiency.
CMR Technology: Native Conventional Magnetic Recording ensures fast, reliable, and predictable read/write speeds for enterprise applications.
Enterprise-Grade 24/7 Reliability: Rated for continuous operation with 2.5 million hours MTBF and a 550 TB/year workload limit.
High Transfer Performance: 7200 RPM rotational speed with an enlarged 512 MB cache delivering sustained data rates up to 285 MB/s.
Rotational Vibration (RV) Sensors: Maintains stable drive performance and data integrity in high-density multi-drive RAID environments.
