The Seagate Exos 28TB is an enterprise-class 3.5-inch SATA hard drive built for always-on storage. It uses conventional magnetic recording (CMR) rather than shingled recording, so sustained writes stay predictable, and it is rated for a 550TB-per-year workload with a 2.5 million-hour MTBF. That puts it in the same class as other helium-filled enterprise drives, but with one of the highest capacities you can buy in a single SATA bay. It suits NAS builders, media hoarders and small servers; desktop users who want quiet will find it loud and power-hungry compared with a 5400RPM drive.

Owners of Exos drives generally report solid reliability in NAS and server use, with sustained speeds close to the rated figures. The recurring complaints are noise and heat rather than failures.
