Scalable and responsive enterprise solutions

Built with cloud storage in mind, the 20TB X20 delivers performance for hyperscale data centres and massive scale-out applications. With low latency of 4.16ms and repeatable response times, these drives provides enhanced caching that performs up to 3x better than solutions that only utilise read or write caching. These HDD also delivers a sustained data rate (SDR) of up to 285MB/s.

With available company’s Secure technology and a 2.5 million-hour MTBF rating, enterprises count on Exos X20 to realise data and operational efficiencies, and high storage densities in the datasphere.

The Exos X20 HDD can be paired with the firm’s recently announced Exos CORVAULT storage system to deliver data density in a small footprint. Built on U chassis accommodating 106 Exos enterprise drives in 7 inches (18cm) of rack space, CORVAULT offers over 2.12PB of SAN-level performance built on the firm’s storage architecture.
