Exos
™
7E2000 enterprise hard drives can store large amounts of
data without using a ton of system space—up to 2000GB in a compact 2.5-inch
form factor. Exos 7E2000 provides the density, low power consumption and data
integrity needed in traditional data centers and the cloud.
Trusted Bulk Data Storage in a Small Data Center Footprint
Exos 7E2000 drives optimize your data center footprint in a proven 2.5-inch form factor for
infrastructures requiring highly reliable access to bulk data. Conventional magnetic recording (CMR)
technology helps Exos 7E2000 catalyze the datasphere, enabling data center architects and IT
professionals to deliver trusted performance, rock-solid reliability and ironclad security for demanding
24×7 operations. A 2M-hr. MTBF rating with supported workloads of 550TB/year, dense data storage
and low power consumption help you meet your storage SLAs while lowering TCO.
Significant Hard Drive Power Savings
Exos 7E2000 drives ensure data confidence with a reliable, low-power platform for efficient bulk
storage operations, even in harsh data center environments. Exos 7E2000 helps reduce per-gigabyte
cooling and energy costs by packing high capacities into an SFF, low-power consumption drive.
Included PowerChoice
™
technology empowers IT organizations to tailor systems for optimal
performance and power consumption, resulting in power savings of up to 35% over traditional 3.5-inch
drives, and potentially operating as low as 1.1 watts when idle.
Enhanced Enterprise Reliability, Data Protection and Security
Exos 7E2000 security features help protect data where it lives—on the drive. Exos 7E2000 drives help
prevent unauthorized access and safeguard stored data with security levels that include Secure
Downloads & Diagnostics, TCG-compliant Self-Encrypting Drive and government-grade FIPS tamper-
resistent hard drive.

Seagate Secure
™
drives simplify drive repurposing and disposal, help protect
data-at-rest, and comply with corporate and federal data security mandates.
1 Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) and FIPS 140-2 Validated drives are not available in all models or countries. May require TCG-compliant host or
controller support. Instant Secure Erase (ISE) functionality meets the ISO/IEC 27040 and NIST 800-88 guidelines for complete and authoritative drive
sanitization.
