Dell / Seagate Exos X24 12TB 7.2K SAS

Engineered for mission-critical storage environments, the Dell / Seagate Exos X24 12TB SAS (DPN: 0FN7VR) delivers enterprise-class performance, density, and reliability in a 3.5" form factor. Built on the advanced helium-sealed architecture of the Seagate Exos X24 platform, this drive is designed for always-on operation in demanding datacentre and server workloads. With a robust 7200 RPM spindle speed and SAS 12 Gb/s dual-port interface, it provides the bandwidth and redundancy required for high-availability storage arrays, virtualization platforms, and large-scale backup infrastructures.

Delivering a strong balance of speed and endurance, the drive supports sustained transfer rates of up to approximately 285 MB/s along with a large enterprise-grade cache buffer for smooth, consistent throughput under heavy workloads. Its Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) design ensures predictable performance across RAID configurations, while its helium-sealed construction reduces internal friction, improving efficiency, thermal performance, and long-term reliability. Rated for 24/7 operation with a 2.5 million-hour MTBF and a 550TB-per-year workload rating, it is purpose-built for continuous, high-intensity data environments.

Supplied under Dell’s enterprise qualification as DPN 0FN7VR, this variant is firmware-aligned for compatibility with Dell PowerEdge servers and storage systems, ensuring seamless integration into enterprise ecosystems. Ideal for dense storage arrays, SAN/NAS deployments, and scalable data centres, it supports mission-critical uptime where data integrity and endurance are essential. Whether deployed in RAID configurations or large capacity expansion shelves, this drive offers a dependable, high-capacity foundation for modern enterprise storage infrastructure.
