10 TB SAS enterprise drive
The Seagate Exos 7E10 ST10000NM018B is a 10 TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 256 MB cache and connects through a SAS 12Gb/s interface. The drive is rated for 550 TB of yearly workload and a 2 million hour MTBF in 24x7 operation.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This drive suits data-centre architects and IT professionals deploying replicated or RAID arrays that demand sustained throughput and rotational-vibration tolerance. It is not suited for desktop PCs lacking a SAS host bus adapter or for systems that require a different physical interface. Buyers needing a 2.5-inch form factor or a non-enterprise workload rating should consider other options.
SAS 12Gb/s interface decides fit
The single specification that decides compatibility is the SAS 12Gb/s interface; the system must provide a matching SAS backplane or controller. The 512e/4KN sector format supports modern enterprise operating systems and hypervisors. Verify that your chassis accepts a 26.11 mm high 3.5-inch drive before purchase.

Questions about this item
How much data can the 10TB capacity actually hold in a server?
The 10TB drive stores roughly 10 trillion bytes, suitable for large-scale bulk data workloads such as archival, backup and replicated RAID arrays running 24x7.
What does the SAS 12Gb/s interface limit in practice?
The SAS 12Gb/s link caps the host transfer rate at 12 gigabits per second, while the drive’s sustained media rate will be lower due to 7200 RPM mechanical limits.
Will the 3.5" 26.11mm height fit my standard drive bay?
Yes, the drive uses the standard 3.5-inch form factor with a 26.11mm height, 101.85mm width and 147.00mm length, matching common enterprise hot-swap trays.
