Dell Seagate Exos X18 3.5" 18TB 7.2K 6GBPS 512e SATA Hard Drive - KPVDN ST18000NM002J

The Dell Seagate Exos X18 3.5" 18TB 7.2K 6GBPS 512e SATA Hard Drive (Model: KPVDN, Part Number: ST18000NM002J) is an enterprise-grade hard drive with a high capacity that is designed for the storage and archiving of data in large-scale server environments. The drive has a part number of ST18000NM002J. This drive offers a balance between storage space and rotational speed, with a spacious storage capacity of 18 terabytes (TB) and a rotational speed of 7,200 revolutions per minute (RPM). Because of this, it is suitable for situations in which massive storage is required along with reasonable performance. The designation "512e" in the description indicates that the hard drive emulates sectors of 512 bytes externally, making it compatible with older computer systems, but internally it uses sectors that are larger than 4 KB, making it more efficient. The Serial ATA (SATA) interface has a data transfer rate of 6Gbps, which makes it possible to transfer data at a respectable rate. This drive should be compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers and other systems that support SATA hard drives because it is likely designed to fit into standard 3.5-inch drive bays and because it uses a standard SATA interface. In enterprise information technology settings, it is a dependable option for applications like bulk storage, backups, and archival purposes, among other uses.
