Description
More Specification
The SEAGATE ST16000NM005J Exos X18 is a high-performance, high-capacity hard disk drive (HDD) designed for use in enterprise storage systems and data centers. It is part of the Exos X18 series, which is designed to meet the demands of large organizations and data centers that require high-capacity, high-performance storage solutions that can handle large amounts of data and support mission-critical applications.
Capacity: With a storage capacity of 16 terabytes (TB), this drive is well-suited for use in large-scale storage systems and allows for storing large amount of data.
Spindle Speed: The drive has a spindle speed of 7200 RPM, which is typical of enterprise-grade hard drives. The higher the RPM, the faster the drive can access data.
Data transfer rate: The drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface and has a data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (GB/s), which is faster than the standard 6GB/s of SATA hard drives. This allows for improved performance and faster data access when used in systems that support the SAS interface.
Cache Memory: The drive has a large cache memory of 256MB which helps in improving the performance of data transfer and access.
Security: The drive supports advanced security features such as TCG-compliant Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) and Instant Secure Erase (ISE) which helps protect data at rest.
Reliability: SAS interface supports multiple lanes, daisy chaining and S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) which makes it more reliable and fault-tolerant.

Delivers the high Reliability
The drive uses the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which provides faster data transfer rates and more advanced features compared to the standard SATA interface. It also supports multiple lanes, daisy chaining and S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) which makes it more reliable and fault-tolerant.
Additionally, the drive supports advanced security features such as TCG-compliant Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) and Instant Secure Erase (ISE) which helps protect data-at-rest.
However, factors such as usage conditions, system compatibility, and maintenance can all impact the reliability of a hard drive. To ensure maximum reliability, it is important to properly set up and maintain the drive, and to check the manufacturer’s website for the latest information about compatibility and firmware updates. If you are experiencing problems with this specific hard drive, I recommend contacting Seagate support for assistance.
