Exos Enterprise X14 and X14z
Scalable. Responsive. Innovative.

Seagate manufactures hard drives that specifically address the needs of the hyperscale storage market. As the flagship of the Seagate X class, the Exos X14 and Exos X14z enterprise hard drives are the highest-capacity hard drives in the fleet.

Maximum Storage Capacity for Highest Rack Space Efficiency

• 14TB per drive for 40% more petabytes per rack
• Industry’s lowest power and weight for optimum data center TCO
• Highest 14TB hard drive performance with enhanced caching, making it perfect for big data applications
• Hyperscale SATA model tuned for large data transfers
• PowerBalance feature optimizes IOPS/Watt
• Helium sealed-drive design with no porosity and uniform density
• Superior material and weld-width design for a more robust, hermetically sealed-drive enclosure that protects from helium leaks
• Digital environmental sensors for measuring internal pressure, helping to ensure high reliability, performance, and quality
• Latest hermetic interconnect technology supporting higher data rate heads and higher pin counts for extreme thermal conditions
• Proven enterprise-class reliability backed by 2.5M-hr MTBF rating

Best-Fit Applications

• Hyperscale applications/cloud data centers
• Massive scale-out data centers
• Big data applications
• High-capacity density RAID storage
• Mainstream enterprise external storage arrays
• Distributed file systems, including Hadoop and Ceph
• Enterprise backup and restore— D2D, virtual tape
• Centralized surveillance

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• All 4Kn/512e drives ship in 512-byte emulation mode and can be easily reformatted to 4Kn (and vice versa) with the FastFormat feature. New sector size will take effect only after a fast format
• FastFormat is not compatible with 512n drives
• FastFormat are only compatible with 512e and 4Kn Drives
• Back up ALL data on drive when reformatting to FastFormat drives or all your data will be lost
• T10 FastFormat conversion between 4Kn and 512e configurations is possible only if sector sizes are exact multiples of 8
• Data must be aligned to 4K sectors to see improved performance in 4Kn fomat.
