Centralised surveillanceThe Seagate® Exos™ X10 hard drive includes 10 TB and 8 TB secure, highcapacity,
high-performance enterprise hard drives optimised for demanding
hyperscale applications for maximum TCO savings.
Maximum Storage Capacity for High Rack Space Efficiency
The Exos X10 enterprise hard drives support up to 10 TB per drive,1 providing 25% more petabytes per
rack.2 High storage densities allow the latest technology and greatest efficiencies to help catalyse the
datasphere, enabling data centre architects and IT professionals to deliver trusted performance, rocksolid
reliability, ironclad security and low TCO for demanding 24×7 operations.
Industry's Highest Performance Combined With the Lowest Power
and Weight for Lower TCO
Exos X10 drives offer the industry's highest 10 TB hard drive performance with advanced write
caching, making it perfect for OLTP, Hadoop, Ceph and HPC applications. The hyperscale SATA model
is tuned for large data transfers and offers a 20% boost in random write performance.2 Experience the
industry's best in IOPS/watt by optimising your storage with Seagate's PowerBalance™ feature.
Innovative Helium Design
The proven, enterprise-class Exos X10 is backed by a 2.5 M-hour MTBF. Built on a wrought-aluminium
base, the helium-sealed drive design with no porosity and uniform density is engineered with superior
material and a wide-weld design, and utilises the latest hermetic interconnect technology to support
higher data rate heads and higher pin counts to excel in extreme thermal conditions in a robust storage
infrastructure. These Seagate X class hard drives provide digital environmental sensors that measure
internal humidity, pressure and temperature, to help ensure high reliability and performance.
Enhanced Enterprise Reliability, Data Protection and Security
The Exos X10 hard drives offer advanced security features that help protect data where it lives — on
the drive. Advanced security levels to prevent unauthorised access to a drive and safeguard stored
data include Seagate Downloads & Diagnostics, TCG-compliant Self-Encrypting Drive and governmentgrade
FIPS/Common Criteria tamper-resistant hard drive.3 Seagate Secure™ drives simplify drive
repurposing and disposal, help protect data-at-rest, and comply with corporate and federal data
security mandates.
