ST18000NM000J 18TB SATA 7200RPM 256MB Brand new original

SKU: 3568

The Seagate Exos ST18000NM000J is a stock item for our wholesale catalog, supplied in brand new original condition with full batch traceability. It is positioned for value-added resellers, system integrators, and IT procurement teams building bulk SATA storage — nearline archival tiers, NAS/JBOD expansion, and 24/7 data center workloads. Units within a single purchase order are drawn from the same production batch wherever possible, a critical factor for RAID array consistency and predictable deployment qualification.

All shipments are factory-sealed and export-ready, with CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance documentation available on request for customs clearance and tender submissions. Standard warranty and RMA handling is managed through our wholesale channel: defective units are processed under a defined DOA/RMA window with batch-level tracking, minimizing downtime for integrator projects and reseller inventory.

Good to know for resellers and integrators

  • Standard SATA 6 Gb/s interface ensures drop-in compatibility with mainstream server backplanes, JBOD enclosures, and NAS platforms — we recommend validating firmware and controller support for high-capacity drives in your target environment before rollout.
  • As part of Seagate’s Exos enterprise family, this model carries workload and endurance ratings suited to continuous operation, differentiating it from desktop-class drives commonly found in grey-market stock.
  • We confirm bulk-pack availability, batch consistency for RAID deployments, and written warranty/RMA terms on every wholesale order — terms that vary significantly across unmanaged channels.
