ST4000NM010A Seagate Exos 7E8 4TB SATA 256 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Density 3.5in Enterprise SATA HDD featuring CMR nearline performance with the ST4000NM010A

The ST4000NM010A is a 4TB 3.5in enterprise HDD designed for modern rack servers and storage shelves where CPU and GPU resources are constrained by I/O consistency rather than compute. In mixed platform deployments, the ST4000NM010A supports predictable throughput for backup streams and bulk datasets by using 7200RPM mechanics and CMR recording to maintain stable write behavior under sustained load.

With a SATA interface suited to widely deployed backplanes, the ST4000NM010A integrates cleanly alongside PCIe expansion for NICs, HBAs, and GPU accelerators while keeping the storage tier cost-effective. 4Kn (512e) sector formatting and 256MB cache help optimize queue handling for sequential workflows and large-block transfers. For data protection architectures, the ST4000NM010A adds Self-Encrypting Drive capability with Instant Secure Erase, enabling secure decommissioning without disrupting chassis-level serviceability.

Why Choose the ST4000NM010A?

The ST4000NM010A is engineered for dense capacity per rack unit with enterprise reliability for 24x7 duty cycles, making it well-suited for scaling nearline pools and tiered storage. By combining CMR write integrity, power management controls, and SED security, the ST4000NM010A supports consistent fleet behavior across large node counts and simplifies operational governance for compliance-driven environments.

Seagate designs Exos-class drives with a focus on predictable service life and data center compatibility, aligning firmware behavior, sensors, and power profiles to the thermal and vibration conditions common in multi-bay enclosures and storage servers.

Key Applications:

• Bulk storage tiers for rack servers
• Backup and restore repositories
• Archive and nearline data lakes
• Security-sensitive at-rest encrypted datasets
