Seagate Enterprise 10TB 2.5" 7200RPM SAS 12.0 GB/s HDD

The Seagate ST10000NM0206 is a 2.5-inch enterprise hard drive that brings 10TB of raw capacity to servers and storage arrays needing dense, reliable storage with steady throughput.

With a spindle that spins at 7200 RPM and a sustained transfer rate that reaches 254 MB/s, the drive moves large data sets quickly and keeps everyday transactions flowing. An average latency of 4.16 ms helps applications stay responsive, whether you are hosting virtual machines, streaming rich media, or running analytics.

Seagate builds the drive inside an enclosure made from forged aluminum and fills it with helium to reduce internal turbulence. This design, combined with on-board environmental sensors, allows the host system to monitor temperature and vibration so the drive can stay online around the clock. A 2.5 million-hour MTBF rating underlines its suitability for mission-critical environments.

For workloads that generate frequent small writes, Seagate’s advanced caching logic accelerates random operations without demanding additional power. Data centers running online transaction processing, log collection, or mixed read-write workloads see smoother performance while keeping energy costs under control.

The SAS interface operates at 12.0 Gb/s, making the drive a natural fit for modern backplanes, RAID controllers, and high-density JBOD enclosures. Install it in a 2U server, a cloud archive tier, or a content delivery node whenever you need capacity that scales easily and performance that remains consistent.
