Exos 2X18 18 TB Model No: ST18000NM0092

Seagate Exos 2X18 18TB MACH.2™ Multi-Actuator Enterprise HDD – Model ST18000NM0092

Body Content: Experience unprecedented performance with the Seagate Exos 2X18 (ST18000NM0092), the industry’s fastest 18TB hard drive. Powered by revolutionary MACH.2™ multi-actuator technology, this drive acts like two 9TB drives in a single 3.5-inch chassis. By allowing two independent sets of arms to transfer data simultaneously, the Exos 2X18 effectively doubles the IOPS and throughput performance compared to standard single-actuator enterprise drives.

Double the Performance, Half the Complexity The ST18000NM0092 is designed for data centers that require high-density storage without sacrificing speed. With sustained data transfer rates up to 554MB/s, it rivals the sequential performance of some entry-level SATA SSDs while maintaining the cost-per-gigabyte advantages of traditional spinning media. This makes it the ideal choice for content delivery networks (CDNs), video streaming, and massive data analytics.

Hyperscale Reliability and Efficiency As part of the Exos family, this drive is built for 24/7 mission-critical environments. It is helium-sealed for lower power consumption and features Seagate Secure™ technology for government-grade data protection. With a 2.5 million-hour MTBF and a 550TB/year workload rating, the Exos 2X18 ensures your most demanding cloud applications stay online and optimized.
