Product Description
Seagate Exos X24 24TB 3.5-Inch Enterprise HDD – SATA/SAS 7200 RPM, 512e/4Kn
Seagate Exos X24 Enterprise Hard Drive delivers hyperscale-ready capacity and consistent performance for dense data-center applications. This 24TB, helium-sealed 3.5" nearline drive spins at 7200 RPM and SATA interface to fit a wide range of rack, array and server platforms.
Engineered for big-data workloads, Exos X24 combines high sustained transfer rates (up to 285 MB/s) with enhanced multi-segment caching for lower latency and repeatable response times. With enterprise-grade reliability (2.5 million hour MTBF) and a 5‑year limited warranty, it’s optimized to maximize rack-space efficiency and lower cost per terabyte in large-scale storage deployments.
Features and Benefits
- 24TB capacity in a 3.5" helium-sealed nearline form factor for highest rack-space efficiency.
- 7200 RPM spindle speed with sustained transfer rates up to 285 MB/s for large sequential workloads.

Product Q&A
-
Q: Is this drive suitable for hyperscale and large-scale data-center deployments?
A: Yes. The Exos X24 is designed for hyperscale applications and massive scale-out environments with a 24TB capacity, high sustained transfer rates, and enterprise-class reliability. -
Q: What interfaces are available and which should I choose?
A: The Exos X24 is offered in SATA III (6 Gb/s). -
Q: How reliable is the drive and what warranty is provided?
A: The drive is rated at 2.5 million hours MTBF and a workload rating of 550 TB/year. Seagate provides a 5‑year limited warranty. -
Q: What performance can I expect for sequential transfers and random I/O?
A: Maximum sustained transfer rates reach up to 285 MB/s. Random 4K IOPS (QD16) are specified around 168 read / 550 write, with average latency about 4.16 ms. -
Q: Are there any thermal or power considerations to plan for?
A: Typical idle power is ~6.3 W and active power ranges up to about 8.9 W. Operating temperature range is generally 10°C–60°C; ensure adequate cooling and power rails (+12V and +5V) in your chassis.

Compatibility
Device Compatibility:
- Mac: Compatible with Macs that provide a supported internal SATA interface or an external storage enclosure that exposes SATA drives — macOS itself has no drive-specific exclusion. (See Mac vendor documentation for supported internal drive replacements.)
- Windows PC / Server: Compatible with Windows systems that offer a standard SATA III host controller. Example supported OS versions include Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, Windows 10 (64-bit), and Windows 11 — provided the system firmware and controller support the physical interface.
- Other OS: Compatible with Linux distributions and enterprise OSes that support standard SATA block devices (for example: Ubuntu LTS releases, RHEL/CentOS, SUSE). Most modern kernels recognize the drive as a standard block device.
Mac OS Compatibility:
- Compatible with: macOS 10.15 Catalina and newer when used in compatible hardware/enclosure (drive-level compatibility is determined by host hardware and firmware).
PC OS Compatibility:
- Compatible with: Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11, Windows Server 2016/2019/2022 and newer where SATA drivers are available.
Other OS Compatibility:
- Compatible with: Modern Linux distributions (kernel 4.x and newer) and Chrome OS devices that support external SATA enclosures.
Interface Requirements:
- Required: System with a SATA III (6 Gb/s) port for SATA models
- Not supported: Systems without a SATA interface (for example legacy IDE-only motherboards) or enclosures that do not accept 3.5" drives.
Explicit incompatibilities / exceptions:
- Not compatible with: systems that only accept M.2 or U.2 drives unless an appropriate adapter/enclosure is used.
