Exos 5E8
The Seagate® Exos™ 5E8 hard drives are the most affordable
enterprise-class drives designed specifically for active-archive
applications in cloud storage, cold storage and online data archiving.
Exos 5E8 provides power-efficient, high-density storage for 24×7
data centre operations.
Reliable Active-Archive Enterprise Hard Drive
Exos 5E8 hard drives support up to 8 TB per drive1 and offer affordable cold storage for
data centre infrastructures requiring a highly reliable enterprise hard drive. The Exos 5E8
hard drive helps to catalyse the datasphere, enabling data centre architects and IT
professionals to deliver trusted performance, rock-solid reliability, ironclad security and
low TCO for demanding 24×7 operations.
Store More Data at Lower Costs
The Exos 5E8 hard drives are backed by a 800,000 hour MTBF and support workloads of
180 TB per year. Store your data faster with a SATA 6 Gb/s interface that optimises burst
performance. The Exos 5E8 drive offers a low cost/TB online data archive solution and
helps ensure long-term data management with the lowest power consumption, thanks to
on-demand, time-to-ready PowerChoice™ technology.
Efficiently Lower Your TCO
Exos 5E8 ensures archival data confidence with a reliable, low-power data retrieval based
on Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology for efficient cold storage operations
even in harsh data centre environments. The Exos 5E8 serves up impressive sequential
throughput and is intended for use in large-scale data centres where density, power
consumption, data integrity and data retrieval are paramount.
Enhanced Enterprise Reliability, Data Protection and Security
Exos 5E8 drives deliver exceptional security to help protect data where it lives — on the
drive. Exos 5E8 safeguards firmware with Secure Downloads & Diagnostics.
1 Seagate recommends validating your configuration with your HBA/RAID controller manufacturer to ensure full capacity capabilities.
2 Exos 5E8 hard drives are not intended for surveillance or NAS applications, and you may experience lower performance in these environments.
For these applications, Seagate IronWolf ™ and Seagate SkyHawk ™ hard drives are suggested for better performance and reliability.
