Furthermore, each unit is relabelled and packaged by Seagate — not a third party. Consequently, you receive genuine enterprise performance at a significantly reduced cost. Factory Inspected Returned to Seagate, tested to original enterprise specifications, and cleared for redeployment 1-Year PCBoost Warranty Covered by a full 1-year warranty from PCBoost — not the original manufacturer warranty Enterprise Grade Same helium design, same MTBF rating, same 24/7 workload spec as the new drive 16TB Helium Enterprise Performance The Exos ST16000NM002C uses a helium-sealed internal design to reduce friction, lower operating temperatures, and improve drive longevity. As a result, power consumption stays low relative to capacity, and the drive operates more quietly than traditional air-filled designs. Moreover, the next-generation side-sealing weld technology provides added protection against helium leaks over the drive's lifetime. With up to 285MB/s sustained transfer speed and a 512MB cache buffer, the Exos handles sequential workloads such as large file writes, backup streams, and video surveillance data with consistent throughput. Furthermore, PowerBalance technology dynamically optimises power per terabyte — reducing operational costs in multi-drive deployments. SATA 6Gb/s — Universal Compatibility The SATA III 6Gb/s interface ensures broad platform compatibility across servers, NAS enclosures, RAID controllers, and desktop workstations. Additionally, the 512e sector format supports both legacy and modern filesystem configurations without additional formatting steps — simplifying deployment in mixed-environment storage arrays. 2.5 Million Hour MTBF Reliability Rated at 2.5 million hours MTBF with a 0.35% annualised failure rate, the Exos is engineered for continuous 24/7 enterprise operation. Moreover, integrated digital environmental sensors monitor internal drive conditions in real time — enabling predictive health monitoring through compatible RAID controllers and NAS management software. PowerBalance for Lower TCO PowerBalance technology optimises the watts-per-terabyte ratio during mixed read/write workloads. Consequently, in high-density rack deployments with many drives operating simultaneously, aggregate power draw and cooling requirements are meaningfully reduced — lowering the total cost of ownership over the drive's operational life. Ideal for RAID, NAS, and Servers Designed for high-workload rate environments up to 550TB/year, the Exos handles RAID rebuild cycles, continuous backup jobs, and simultaneous multi-user access without degradation. Furthermore, its 3.5" form factor fits standard LFF server bays and NAS enclosures — making it a direct fit for existing infrastructure. Warranty Notice: This is a manufacturer recertified product. It is covered by a 1-year warranty from PCBoost. The original Seagate manufacturer warranty does not apply. PCBoost warranty covers defects in operation arising under normal use conditions.
