Key features of the Seagate Exos X24 12TB 512E/4KN SATA hard drive
- Utilises conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology
- Platter speed of 7200rpm
- Mean time between failures of 2.5 million hours
- Helium-filled design reduces friction and consumption
- PowerBalance feature optimises the power-to-consumption ratio
- Seagate Instant Secure technology for fast and secure data erasure
Performance of the Seagate Exos X24 SATA drive
The drive operates at 7200rpm and achieves transfer speeds of up to 285MB/s for both reading and writing. Enhanced caching with a 512MB buffer contributes to low latency and fast system response. This allows it to handle demanding tasks without delay and maintain a smooth data flow, which is crucial for server operations and uninterrupted access to information.
Reliability and design of the Seagate Exos X24 drive
The helium inside the sealed casing reduces the friction and vibration of the rotating platters, leading to lower power consumption and less heat. This design, along with a high mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, is ideal for continuous operation. Additionally, CMR recording technology supports higher reliability when rewriting data compared to SMR technology.
Efficient data and power management
The PowerBalance feature optimises power consumption based on the current workload, helping to reduce overall operating costs in data centres. For securely decommissioning the drive, Seagate Instant Secure technology is available. It ensures the fast and irreversible erasure of all stored data, thereby protecting sensitive information from unauthorised access.
