Seagate Enterprise 3.5" 7200RPM 256MB SATA 6TB HDD

The Seagate ST6000NM0175 is a 6 TB enterprise hard drive that combines large capacity with dependable, around-the-clock performance. It uses a 3.5-inch form factor and connects through a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, so it drops smoothly into standard server bays, network attached storage, or multi-bay enclosures without special cabling or adapters.

A spindle speed of 7200 RPM works with a 256 MB cache to keep data moving quickly, which is valuable when you are streaming large databases, hosting virtual machines, or backing up critical files. Advanced write caching and built-in rotational vibration sensors help the drive hold steady throughput inside dense RAID configurations, where vibration from neighboring drives can otherwise slow transfers.

The drive is engineered for heavy workloads up to 550 TB each year and carries a mean time between failures rating of 2 million hours, so it fits well in data centers, media production suites, and other spaces that run storage hardware non-stop. A five-year limited warranty adds another layer of confidence for IT teams that need predictable costs and minimal downtime.

Security features include hardware-based encryption and Instant Secure Erase. These tools let administrators protect sensitive data in use and retire drives quickly when they reach the end of service life, all while meeting common compliance requirements.
