Question about Seagate Exos X20
The Seagate Exos hard drives have a nice aeroplane on the front, which suggests that they are 'Surveillance' hard drives... but most of them say 'Enterprise' or 'NAS' as the application...! So what's the truth?
Helpful answer
The aircraft is just a Seagate Marketing symbol for the Exos series and has nothing to do with "Surveillance".
- Exos = Enterprise HDDs for data centres: high capacity, 24/7 operation, workloads up to 550 TB/year, SAS or SATA.
- SkyHawk = Surveillance HDDs for video surveillance: optimised for many write streams, 24/7, but lower workload (approx. 180 TB/year).
- IronWolf / IronWolf Pro = NAS HDDs for SOHO/SMB.
So: Exos X20 clearly belongs in the enterprise sector, despite the "aeroplane logo". SkyHawk is used for surveillance systems, not Exos.
