The ST16000NM004J is Seagate’s 16TB Exos-class 3.5-inch SATA enterprise hard drive, a core capacity-tier SKU for our wholesale catalog. We supply this model to storage resellers, system integrators, and IT procurement teams deploying high-density NAS/SAN expansion, object storage clusters, and backup infrastructure at rack scale.
Stock is maintained in volume with batch consistency guaranteed on multi-unit orders — units within a single shipment ship from the same manufacturing batch to simplify firmware and provisioning management across your deployment. All drives are brand-new originals with verifiable serial numbers and intact original packaging for full traceability and audit compliance.
Every unit ships with full export documentation and carries CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications, supporting smooth customs clearance for overseas buyers. Our RMA process is handled directly through our wholesale channel with a defined warranty window and cross-shipment options for qualified partners, minimizing downtime exposure for integration projects.

Procurement guidance
- Confirm that your HBA or controller platform supports SATA 6 Gb/s, and that host-side tooling is available if you intend to activate TCG Enterprise encryption or ISE on deployed units.
- This Exos-class drive is positioned above NAS/desktop tiers in Seagate’s lineup; the 550 TB/year workload rating and 2.5 million hour MTBF make it appropriate for continuous-duty rack-scale arrays rather than consumer-grade replacement stock.
- For volume orders, we recommend validating chassis airflow and vibration characteristics of the target enclosure before finalizing quantities, as rated workload and efficiency figures assume proper thermal conditions in high-density configurations.
