Helping enterprises efficiently release data value, Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 hard disk evaluation

Since the birth of civilization, human beings have been looking for effective ways to store information, whether it is the "rule by tying a rope in ancient times" recorded in the Book of Changes, or the information recorded in ancient times through cuneiform characters, bamboo sticks, paper, or now through CDs USB stick Hard disk The development process of storage technology over thousands of years reflects the continuous pursuit of human beings for information recording and preservation on the one hand, and also reveals the importance of data for social development on the other hand.

As the core element of social and economic development in the information age, data has now become an important global strategic resource alongside land, population and energy. However, with the rapid development of AI and other advanced technologies, storage has begun to face new challenges. According to IDC statistics, it is expected that the total global data will reach 291ZB by 2027. In this huge data circle, AIGC and cloud computing are constantly reshaping the existing storage pattern. For large-scale data processing and high-performance computing needs, the traditional storage architecture has been unable to meet. More reliable high-performance and high-capacity storage units are urgently needed inside and outside the industry to meet the growing diversified storage needs, which leads to the protagonist of our evaluation: Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 hard disk 。

As the high-end enterprise hard disk products of Seagate, the world's leading storage giant, Seagate Galaxy Exos series is designed for enterprise level, cloud computing and large-scale data centers. It adopts a 10 disc process with a single disc capacity of 2.4TB, and has excellent reliability. It can provide industry leading total cost of ownership (TCO) for large-scale users and enterprises, facilitating the horizontal expansion of massive data centers.

Next, let's take a look at the charm of this benchmark enterprise hard disk product through a series of tests.

one Classic design

In terms of appearance design, Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 has maintained its consistent classic design style, and X18 X20 is only different from the model label. The black and green stickers on the front are very recognizable. The Exos logo alone accounts for 1/3 of the disk. At first glance, it seems that there is a feeling of spaceships shuttling in the galaxy, full of science and technology.

The back design of Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 is interesting. Different from the traditional hard disk with exposed chips, Seagate Galaxy X24 adopts the design of "reverse mounting" PCB, which can increase the structural strength and protect the hard disk from damage.

In terms of size, Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 keeps the same size as X20 X18 has the same size and weight, 147.0mm long, 101.85mm wide, 26.1mm high, and weighs about 685g. Available for rack servers NAS and traditional tower enclosures.

two High speed reading and writing shows strength

As the flagship product of Seagate Galaxy ExosX series enterprise hard disks, Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 also adopts helium sealing technology, which has higher stability and security than ordinary hard disks, and better power consumption and temperature control. The basic configuration is shown in the following table:

In addition, Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 is also equipped with Seagate Secure encryption technology, which can realize self encryption, instant erasure, instant security erasure and other functions; Power Choice and Power Balance can also be used to optimize the power consumption during use and idle time, and customized according to the needs; As well as safe, affordable, fast and easy hard disk scrapping through Seagate Instant Secure Erase.

adopt CrystalDiskInfo From the basic information of Seagate Galaxy Exos X24, we can see that its nominal capacity is 24000GB, its model is ST24000NM002H, and it supports up to SATA 6Gbps transmission mode and S M. A.R.T., NCQ function.

In the CrystalDiskMark test, Seagate Galaxy ExosX24 has a sequential read speed of 286.04MB/s and a sequential write speed of 280.59MB/s, which are among the best in mechanical hard disks.

Next, through the ATTO disk benchmark test, the Seagate Galaxy Exos X24's ability to read and write fragmented files is tested.

From the results, when the file size is more than 8KB, Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 can provide a read/write speed of about 260MB/s.

Finally pass the major Hard disk detection tool HD Tune Pro tests Seagate Galaxy Exos X24. The first is the 40GB continuous reading test. In this project, the average reading speed of Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 is 229.8MB/s.

In the 40GB continuous write test, the average write speed of Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 also reached 213.8MB/s.

In the 40GB random access reading test, Seagate Galaxy Exos X24's performance is as follows. It can be seen that its random access speed is very fast, and the reading speed has increased significantly since 64KB.

In the 40GB random access write test, Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 also scored quite well, and the write speed at 64KB was significantly improved, reaching 166.386 MB/s.

three Summary: the king of high-performance and high-capacity mechanical hard disks

Under the rapid development of digital trend, whether it is end users, content creation, mixed working mode, or computing devices, intelligent facilities, smart cities, all continue to generate massive data. As a leading enterprise in the data storage field, Seagate is continuously providing efficient and reliable storage solutions for users around the world. With its excellent performance and large capacity, Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 not only meets the storage needs of enterprise customers for massive data, but also helps them in big data Achieve breakthroughs in cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other fields.

Through this test, we really saw the strength of Seagate Galaxy Exos X24. The high-speed read and write speed can fully meet the massive storage needs of the data center. Coupled with unique enterprise features, it can fully meet the needs of mass data center horizontal expansion.

Of course, in addition to enterprise users, for high-end users who have high requirements for hard disk storage, such as the hot professional video post field and NAS enthusiasts, the excellent performance and reliability of Seagate Galaxy Exos X24 can also effectively improve their storage experience.
