Seagate Exos Enterprise 1TB 2.5" 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s Internal HDD

The Seagate ST1000NX0333 is a 1TB hard drive created for enterprise systems that need consistent performance in a compact 2.5-inch bay. It uses a 12Gb/s SAS connection, spins at 7200 RPM, and includes a 128MB cache, allowing servers and storage enclosures to handle transaction-heavy and sequential workloads without the lag that can slow down user applications.

Because this drive is part of the Exos family, it is engineered for nonstop operation in dense data centers. The design focuses on power efficiency, cutting watts per terabyte by more than half compared with earlier versions. That efficiency lowers cooling demands and operating costs, which is a welcome change for IT teams managing racks packed with drives.

Integration is straightforward. Any server, JBOD, or SAN that accepts 12Gb/s SAS in a 15 mm small form factor bay can drop this drive in and go. Common use cases include virtualized environments, data analytics clusters, and backup targets where space is at a premium but reliability cannot be compromised.
