The Workhorse of the Exos Lineup: 20TB of Capacity-Dense SAS Storage With Proven Reliability
The Seagate Exos X20 20TB sits at the sweet spot of the enterprise HDD market: large enough for capacity-dense deployments, proven enough to trust with production data, and priced well below the 24TB flagships. Com 7,200 RPM, 12Gb/s SAS dual-port connectivity, 2.5 million hours MTBF, and a 550 TB/year workload rating, the X20 is the drive that powers backup repositories, object storage (MinIO, Ceph), and nearline archive tiers across thousands of data centers. It is the drive you order when you need 300 TB of reliable, redundant storage without paying the density premium for 24TB drives.

Deployments Where the X20 Is the Right Drive
- Backup repository (Veeam/Commvault): 12x X20 in RAID 6 = 200 TB usable. Sequential write at 285 MB/s per drive. A 100 TB backup completes in the overnight window.
- Object storage (MinIO, Ceph): 24-drive node = 480 TB raw. Erasure coding (EC 8+4) delivers ~360 TB usable with strong fault tolerance. SAS dual-port adds path redundancy.
- Nearline archive: Compliance archives, media libraries, and cold data tiers where cost per terabyte and 24/7 reliability matter more than IOPS.
Plataformas Compatíveis
