Seagate Exos 7E10 8TB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s Internal Hard Drive

The Seagate ST8000NM017B is an 8TB hard drive that fits into any standard 3.5 inch bay and is designed for around the clock enterprise workloads. It uses a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, so it drops straight into existing servers or storage enclosures without special adapters or cabling.

Inside, the drive spins at 7200 RPM and works with a 256MB cache buffer. This combination supports sustained transfers up to 255 MB/s and burst rates that peak at 600 MB/s, giving administrators the responsiveness they need for large data sets, virtual machines, or backup jobs that have tight windows.

Reliability is at the heart of the Exos platform. The drive carries a 2 million hour MTBF rating and a non-recoverable error rate of 1 in 10¹⁵ bits read. Features such as PowerBalance help tune power usage without sacrificing throughput, while Seagate Fast Format allows faster deployment when drives need to be re-provisioned.

Because it is built for 24×7 operation, the ST8000NM017B fits naturally in data center racks, network attached storage arrays, and surveillance servers that record continuously. Small to midsize businesses can also drop it into on-premises backup servers to keep critical files in house while maintaining enterprise-grade durability.
