ST16000NM000J 16TB SATA 7200RPM 256MB Brand new original
The Seagate ST16000NM000J (Exos X16 family) is a 16TB 3.5-inch enterprise-class hard drive aimed at system integrators, data center operators, and bulk storage resellers building high-density SATA deployments. It fits rack-scale storage, backup targets, and general enterprise workloads where sustained capacity and reliability matter more than NVMe-class latency. As a SATA device, note that real-world throughput also depends on your HBA/controller and chassis backplane, not just the drive itself.
Key specifications (table)
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 16 TB |
| Form Factor | 3.5-inch |
| Interface | SATA 6 Gb/s (interface speed is a ceiling; actual throughput is lower and platform dependent) |
| Spindle Speed | 7200 RPM |
| Cache | 256 MB |
| MTBF | 2.5 million hours (rated, not a guaranteed service life) |
| Workload Rate Limit | Up to 550 TB/year (exceeding this may void reliability ratings; guidance only) |
| Power Efficiency | Optimized for reduced power and cooling costs (relevant at rack scale) |
| Condition | Brand new original |
Good to know
- Compatibility: standard 3.5-inch SATA drive suitable for most SATA 6 Gb/s controllers and JBOD enclosures; verify your backplane and cabling support high-capacity drives before rollout.
- Family positioning: as part of Seagate’s Exos enterprise line, this model targets higher duty cycles and sustained workloads than nearline desktop drives, with a 550 TB/year workload rating to match.
- Buying tip: for volume orders, confirm batch consistency (same model and firmware family) to simplify imaging, monitoring baselines, and RMA handling across your fleet.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
