The Seagate Exos X16 16TB SED hard disk ranks among the high load internal HDDs compatible with NAS data storage solutions. The 3.5" format is made chiefly for desktop computers and data centres. One of the main parameters is undoubtedly the rotational speed (RPM). The 7200 RPM RPM ensures better system response across the board. The total capacity of the hard drive is 16000 GB. The device uses a 256 MB memory cache. The data transfer between the Seagate hard drive and a computer or other device takes place via the SATA III interface.

Other HDD Features

Platter hard disks have a notably special construction. Inside the hard drive there is a mechanism that utilises moving platters accompanied by disk read/write heads. These moving parts can be damaged by a shock or impact, but this design delivers an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The key parameter that determines the speed of a HDD is RPM - the number of revolutions per minute. With the Seagate Exos X16 16TB SED, you can look forward to 7200 RPM revolutions per minute. It's a great model for more demanding users, such as graphic designers, gamers, video editors, and people who tend to use large amounts of data. Data transmission and stability is also determined by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Seagate hard disk includes a 256 MB cache that keeps the last written data for their prompt retrieval and reading.

Connecting the Seagate HDD

If you want to mount the Seagate Exos X16 16TB SED in your PC or other device, you need a 3.5" slot. Data sharing happens using the SATA III interface with a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. This technology ranks among the most popular HDD data transfer solutions available and delivers a speed of 600 MB/s.
