Seagate Exos X16 14TB

The Seagate Exos X16 14TB hard disk ranks among the high load internal HDDs for 24/7 operation in data centres. The 3.5" format is made chiefly for desktop PCs and data centres. One of the key characteristics is obviously the rotational speed of the HDD. The 7200 RPM RPM ensures improved system performance and faster data transfer. You can look forward to a total data capacity of 14000 GB. The storage uses a 256 MB memory cache. The data transfer between the Seagate hard drive and the PC or other devices takes place via the SATA III interface.

Other HDD Features

Platter hard disks have a notably special construction. Inside the drive there is a mechanism with moving platters accompanied by disk read and write heads. These mechanical parts don't take shocks and impact well, but this weak point is well-compensated by an affordable price tag and high storage capacity. The crucial parameter that determines the speed of a platter hard disk is the number of platter revolutions per minute, generally known as RPM. In case of the Seagate Exos X16 14TB, we have 7200 RPM RPM. This is ideal for demanding users, for example video editors, graphic artists, people who play PC games, and everybody else who deal with large amounts of data. File access speed and overall stability is also influenced by the disk buffer, usually called cache. The Seagate hard drive is equipped with a 256 MB cache that stores the last used data for their prompt retrieval and reading.

Connecting the Seagate Hard Disk

If you want to install the Seagate Exos X16 14TB in your laptop or other device, it must be equipped with a 3.5" slot. The communication between the HDD and PC happens through the SATA III interface, boasting a standard speed of 6 Gbit/s. This technology ranks among the best HDD data transfer options available and delivers a speed of 600 MB/s.
