Seagate Exos X24 24TB 7.2K SAS 12G LFF SED Hard Drive

The SAS interface is the difference on the Seagate Exos X24 24TB 7.2K SAS 12G LFF SED Hard Drive (ST24000NM005H). It runs at 12 Gbps, twice the link speed of the SATA version of the same capacity, and SAS is the interface that enterprise storage arrays and expanders are usually built around.

Capacity is 24TB at 7200 rpm in a 3.5in LFF body. Cache is 512 MB, sectors are 512e, and encryption is listed as SED.

In practice, SAS drives suit shared storage shelves and servers where the backplane and controller are SAS-based, and where some of the enterprise features of the interface are wanted. Check that your controller is SAS-capable, because SAS drives will not work on a SATA-only port.

If your policy requires a FIPS-validated variant, look at the separate SED-FIPS model, which carries its own part number. This one is listed as plain SED.

No alternative part numbers are listed.
