The Seagate Exos 7E8 is a 4TB enterprise-class 3.5-inch hard drive spinning at 7200 rpm over SATA 6Gb/s, with a 256MB cache and a rated 2 million hours between failures. It is built for always-on workloads in servers, NAS boxes and workstations rather than for a typical desktop. Its sustained transfer rate of about 226 MB/s and 5.4W idle-to-10.9W active power draw put it in line with other 7200 rpm enterprise drives. Buyers choose it for the endurance rating and capacity per bay; it is louder and thirstier than a 5400 rpm desktop drive, and it is not a fast SSD replacement.
