20TB SAS Capacity With Built-In Self-Encryption

The Seagate Exos X20 20TB is a 3.5-inch enterprise hard drive with a 12Gb/s SAS interface. It is the Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) model of the Exos X20, which encrypts data in hardware for secure storage and fast, safe drive retirement. The helium-sealed drive spins at 7200 RPM with a 256MB cache and delivers sustained transfer rates of up to 285 MB/s using CMR recording.

Dual-port SAS supports multipath setups in compatible enclosures, and FastFormat lets you switch between 512e and 4Kn sectors. With 2.5 million hours MTBF and a 550TB/year workload rating, it suits enterprise storage arrays, backup targets and surveillance systems. Note that a SAS controller or SAS backplane is required, as SAS drives do not run from standard SATA ports.
