About the ST10000NM002G
The Seagate Exos X16 10TB (ST10000NM002G) is a 3.5 inch SAS 12Gb/s hard drive built for server and storage array use. This page covers the units of this exact part number that this store has tested, all 21 of which passed inspection and are classified in the Light Use tier, with power-on hours ranging from 2,353 to 3,464 and a median of 2,356 hours.
Every unit goes through a sequential and random read/write benchmark, a full extended self-test across the whole surface, a power-on hours cross-check against an independent on-drive log, a NIST 800-88 sanitize with read-back verification, and a SMART health read covering reallocated, pending and uncorrectable sectors. Across this batch, median sequential read speed measured 253 MB/s and median sequential write speed measured 254 MB/s.
Of the 21 units tested, 8 have sold and 13 remain in stock. Testing took place between September 11 and October 11, 2026.

ST10000NM002G questions
What kind of workloads suit this drive?+
As a 10TB SAS hard drive, it fits bulk storage, backup targets, and capacity-oriented server or array deployments where SAS connectivity is required.
Is this drive compatible with SATA controllers?+
No. It uses a SAS 12Gb/s interface, so it requires a SAS controller or backplane rather than a SATA-only connection.
What does the testing process check on each unit?+
Each unit undergoes a sequential and random read/write benchmark, a full extended self-test across the whole surface, a power-on hours cross-check against an independent on-drive log, a NIST 800-88 sanitize with read-back verification, and a SMART health read for reallocated, pending and uncorrectable sectors.
What does the Light Use tier mean for this model?+
All 21 units tested fall into the Light Use tier, meaning their recorded power-on hours fall between 500 and 20,000 hours. The units in this batch specifically range from 2,353 to 3,464 hours.
What read and write speeds can I expect?+
Across the tested batch, median sequential read speed was 253 MB/s and median sequential write speed was 254 MB/s.
