Product Description
The "16TB 6G SATA 7.2K 3.5in 512e He Seagate HDD" is a high-capacity hard disk drive (HDD) from Seagate, designed for enterprise storage and data center applications. Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and features:
1. Capacity & Form Factor
- Storage Capacity: 16 terabytes (TB), suitable for large-scale data storage in servers, NAS devices, or cloud infrastructure.
- Form Factor: 3.5-inch, a standard size for enterprise-class HDDs that fits most server and storage enclosures.
2. Interface & Performance
- Interface: 6G SATA (SATA III), supporting data transfer rates up to 600 MB/s (though real-world speeds are typically lower, around 200-250 MB/s for HDDs).
- Rotation Speed: 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM), balancing performance and power efficiency for general-purpose storage workloads.
3. Data Format & Technology
- Sector Size: 512e (512-byte emulated), a format compatible with legacy systems while supporting modern storage protocols.
- Helium (He) Sealing: Uses helium-filled design to reduce air resistance, enabling higher capacity (16TB) in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, while lowering power consumption and heat generation.
4. Reliability & Enterprise Features
- Workload Rating: Designed for 24/7 operation in enterprise environments, with a typical annualized failure rate (AFR) of ~0.44% (varies by model).
- Error Correction Code (ECC): Built-in ECC to detect and correct data errors, enhancing data integrity.
- RAID Support: Suitable for use in RAID configurations (e.g., RAID 5, 6, 10) to improve fault tolerance and performance.
5. Power & Environmental Specifications
- Power Consumption:
- Idle: ~6-7 watts
- Active: ~8-10 watts
- Operating Temperature: 5-55°C (41-131°F), with extended reliability in controlled data center environments.
