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

SED-FIPS in the encryption field is the feature that marks the Seagate Exos X24 24TB 7.2K SAS 12G LFF SED-FIPS Hard Drive (ST24000NM006H). Organizations whose compliance rules name FIPS will want to confirm the exact certification requirements against Seagate's documentation.

The rest of the specification is the high end of the X24 range: 24TB, 7200 rpm, a SAS interface at 12 Gbps, a 3.5in LFF body, a 512 MB cache and 512e sectors.

SAS and encryption together make this a drive for enterprise storage shelves and servers that require encrypted media. Using it requires a SAS-capable controller or backplane, and a key-management setup if the encryption features are to be put to work.

Because of the specialized encryption label, matching the MPN exactly matters when replacing drives in a controlled environment.
