Seagate Exos 7E2 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA 6 Gb/s Enterprise Internal HDD

The Seagate ST2000NM0008 is a 3.5 inch enterprise hard drive designed for organizations that need steady throughput and dependable uptime. It provides 2 TB of conventional magnetic recording capacity, spins at 7200 rpm, and connects through a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. That combination gives administrators a drive that slides into standard backplanes while moving data at up to 600 MB/s externally and 194 MB/s on the internal bus.

A 128 MB cache equipped with on-the-fly error correction helps maintain data integrity during heavy read and write bursts. The drive is built for continuous service, carrying a 550 TB-per-year workload rating and a 2 million-hour MTBF. These figures make it a solid choice for RAID sets, hyperscale nodes, and replicated storage pools that run around the clock.

PowerChoice technology lets data-center teams curb idle power draw without sacrificing responsiveness, which can lower operating costs across large arrays. When deeper insight is needed, SeaTools software provides health checks and diagnostics, making routine maintenance straightforward.

The Exos 7E2 fits naturally in enterprise servers, scale-out file systems, and centralized backup appliances where predictable performance and long-term durability are priorities. Whether it is supporting virtual machines, handling log aggregation, or safeguarding archived data, this drive delivers consistent results in environments that never sleep.
