You've got a NAS array or a workstation running out of room, and the last drive you bought was either too slow or too small. The Seagate Barracuda 16TB gives you serious capacity in a standard 3.5" form factor without the enterprise price tag.
CMR recording – not SMR – means sustained write performance stays consistent when you're filling it up. 7200RPM with a 512MB cache keeps sequential reads at up to 190 MB/s. SATA 6Gb/s interface plugs straight into any modern desktop, NAS, or server backplane.
Rated for 120 TB/year workload and 2,400 power-on hours per year. 2-year limited warranty
