ST16000NM004J 16TB SATA 7200RPM 256MB Brand new original
The Seagate ST16000NM004J is a 16TB 3.5-inch enterprise-class SATA hard drive from the Exos family, aimed at system integrators, storage resellers, and data center buyers building high-density capacity tiers. With a 7200 RPM spindle, 256 MB cache, and SATA 6 Gb/s interface, it suits bulk storage workloads such as NAS/SAN expansion, object storage, and backup targets. Note that enterprise drives like this are typically deployed in enclosures or servers with adequate vibration control and cooling to achieve their rated workload figures.
Key specifications (table)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 16 TB |
| Interface | SATA 6 Gb/s |
| Form Factor | 3.5-inch |
| Spindle Speed | 7200 RPM |
| Cache | 256 MB |
| Workload Rating | Up to 550 TB/year (annualized workload limit; guidance only) |
| MTBF | 2.5 million hours (statistical rating, not a service-life guarantee) |
| Security | Seagate Secure™ with Instant Secure Erase (ISE); TCG Enterprise encryption support (host/controller support required) |
| Power Efficiency | Optimized for energy savings in high-density storage environments |
Good to know
- Verify your controller or HBA supports SATA 6 Gb/s and, if you plan to use it, TCG Enterprise encryption and ISE — these features require compatible host-side management tools.
- Within Seagate’s portfolio, this Exos-class unit sits above NAS/desktop drives: the 550 TB/year workload rating and 2.5 million hour MTBF indicate continuous enterprise duty, making it a stronger fit for rack-scale arrays than consumer-tier models.
- Buying tip: confirm rack density and chassis airflow before ordering in volume, since power efficiency ratings assume proper thermal conditions in high-density enclosures; request serial numbers and original packaging for brand-new units to support traceability.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
