Innovative Helium Design
The proven, enterprise-class Exos X10 is backed by a 2.5M-hour MTBF. Built on a wrought-
aluminum base, the helium-sealed drive design with no porosity and uniform density is
engineered with superior material and a wide-weld design, and utilizes the latest hermetic
interconnect technology to support higher data rate heads and higher pin counts to excel in
extreme thermal conditions in a robust storage infrastructure. These Seagate X class hard
drives provide digital environmental sensors that measure internal humidity, pressure and
temperature, to help ensure high reliability and performance.
Enhanced Enterprise Reliability, Data Protection and Security
The Exos X10 hard drives offer advanced security features that help protect data where it
lives—on the drive. Advanced security levels to prevent unauthorized access to a drive and
safeguard stored data include Seagate Downloads & Diagnostics, TCG-compliant Self-
Encrypting Drive and government-grade FIPS/Common Criteria tamper-resistent hard drive.
