Features

Enterprise Drive for Bulk Data Applications

Exos 7E10 hard drives support up to 10 TB per drive,1 offering bulk data storage for data centre infrastructures requiring a highly reliable enterprise hard drive. Exos 7E10 provides cost-effective, reliable access to unstructured data. The Exos 7E10 drive helps to catalyse the datasphere, enabling data centre architects and IT professionals to deliver trusted performance, rock- solid reliability, ironclad security, and low TCO for demanding 24×7 operations.

Robust Bulk Data Storage for a 24×7 World

Exos 7E10 drives are backed by a 2 million hour MTBF rating and support workloads of 550 TB per year — 10× that of desktop hard drives. With state-of- the-art cache, on-the-fly error-correction algorithms, and rotational vibration design, the Exos 7E10 helps ensure consistent performance in replicated and RAID multi-drive systems.

High Performance for Mainstream Data Centre Applications

Meet your storage workload requirements in the most efficient and cost- effective data centre footprint on the market today. The Exos 7E10 delivers easy integration into bulk storage systems with 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA 6 Gb/s interface options. With user-definable innovative technology advancements like PowerChoice™ and Seagate RAID Rebuild®, you can tailor your nearline storage requirements for even greater improvements in lowering your TCO.

Enhanced Reliability, Data Protection, and Security

Advanced security features help protect data where it lives — on the drive. Exos 7E10 prevents unauthorised drive access and safeguards stored data with security features that include Secure Downloads & Diagnostics, TCG-compliant Self-Encrypting Drive, and government-grade FIPS/Common Criteria tamper- resistent hard drive.2 Seagate Secure™ drives simplify drive repurposing and disposal, help protect data-at-rest, and comply with corporate and federal data security mandates.

Seagate recommends validating your configuration with your HBA/RAID controller manufacturer to ensure full capacity capabilities.
Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) are not available in all models or countries. May require TCG-compliant host or controller support.
