Manufacturer model
Seagate Exos X18 10TB SAS 12Gb/s 3.5-inch 7200 RPM CMR enterprise HDD - Self-encrypting (SED)
Product details
TB uses decimal capacity. Usable capacity depends on formatting and the system.
Interface link rate is not a sustained media-transfer speed.
Match the required security variant and host/controller support; confirm the offered unit and firmware before ordering.
Supported formats are not a statement of the offered drive's current format. Confirm controller and array requirements. Changing sector format can erase all data.
Confirm the actual format of the offered drive, particularly used or reformatted units.
Maximum outer-diameter rating, not a guaranteed workload result. Actual transfer rates depend on operating conditions.
Match the backplane power connector and system power requirements.
Hot-plug use requires a compatible enclosure, backplane and controller.
Requires compatible host/controller support.

Order requirements
Condition & inspection
Ask for the available health counters, operating hours and reported error information for the offered lot.
Agree on the diagnostic and media-test scope. Any destructive test or sector reformat must be agreed before work begins.
Specify individual protection, carrier requirements and lot identification. Confirm the quantity and condition on the offer.
Purchasing questions
No. Your quotation will identify the available quantity, condition, included items, price and delivery arrangements.
Yes. Ask for current photographs of the offered unit, complete labels and packaging.
Only after the proposed replacement is identified and checked against your requirements. Complete suffixes and OEM firmware requirements must be retained.
Attach a photo brief to the request for Seagate ST10000NM014G. This is a checklist to agree, not a record that inspection has already been performed.
Ask for manufacturer and OEM part numbers, front/back views and the connector or edge contacts. Capacity, interface, form factor and intended host must match the requested component.
Record quantity, condition, firmware or hardware revision where relevant, plus representative and exception photographs. Avoid relying on one generic image for a mixed lot.
Request individual separation, antistatic protection and connector protection as appropriate. Show the components in trays or packing, without inventing a component-specific boot screen.
