Key Specifications

Enterprise-Grade Reliability for Mission-Critical Storage

With a 550TB/year workload rating and 2.5 million hour MTBF, the Exos X24 is engineered for 24/7 operation in the most demanding enterprise environments. The drive’s rotational vibration sensors maintain performance stability even in multi-drive configurations, while the <1 per 10^15 bits read error rate ensures data integrity. These enterprise-class specifications make it ideal for data centres, cloud storage, and business-critical applications where downtime costs are measured in thousands per hour.

Advanced Performance Without Compromise

The Exos X24 combines massive capacity with impressive performance through advanced write caching and up to 285MB/s sustained transfer rates. The 512MB cache buffer accelerates frequently accessed data, while the 12Gb/s SAS interface provides ample bandwidth for high-throughput applications. PowerChoice™ and PowerBalance™ technologies optimise power consumption across active and idle states, reducing operational costs without sacrificing performance when workloads demand it.

Enterprise-Grade Security and Data Protection

Seagate Instant Secure Erase enables safe, fast, and cost-effective drive retirement by cryptographically wiping data in seconds rather than hours. The drive also features Seagate Secure™ technology for enhanced data protection, making it suitable for environments with strict data governance requirements. These security features are particularly valuable for businesses handling sensitive information or operating under compliance regulations.
