New or Used: choosing a condition
- New — unused units for deployments where the full service life matters: primary arrays, long-horizon archives, customer-facing storage.
- Used — previously deployed units, sold as used and bench-tested in-house before listing. The practical choice for expansion pools, backup targets and lab builds.
- Both conditions ship from the same stock and carry the same warranty; the difference is stated per unit in your quote, and you can ask for the details of the exact units allocated to your order.
How 16TB compares with the 14TB and 10TB options on the site
Moving from 14TB to 16TB adds capacity per bay and per watt; moving down to 10TB lowers the per-drive outlay for cold storage. Our WD 14TB SAS drive and WD 10TB SAS drive listings cover the SAS side; this Exos 16TB covers the SATA side of the same rack. Browse all capacities in the enterprise hard drive collection.

Frequently asked questions
Should I buy New or Used units?
New units suit primary arrays and long-horizon storage where full service life matters. Used units, sold as used and tested in-house, are the practical choice for backup targets, expansion pools and labs. Both carry the 90-day warranty from delivery; the condition of each unit is stated in the quote.
Can SATA and SAS drives be mixed in the same server?
On controllers and backplanes that support both, SATA and SAS drives can coexist, but check three things: whether your backplane carries both signal types, whether the controller supports SATA mode, and whether your storage stack pools mixed-media cleanly. Send us your server or backplane model and we confirm before you order.
Is this drive CMR or SMR?
The Seagate Exos 16TB platform uses conventional magnetic recording (CMR), which is what RAID arrays and ZFS pools require. Confirm the exact label with us at quote if your software needs documented proof.
Will I receive 512e or 4Kn sectors?
The drive supports 512-byte emulation and 4Kn native formats; the active format is set on the drive. Tell us your RAID controller or filesystem and we confirm or set the format that matches before dispatch.
Are used drives risky for RAID rebuilds?
Any used drive carries more rebuild risk than an unused one, so the sensible approach is batch consistency and checking before deployment. Ask us for the details of the exact units in your quote; many buyers take matching used batches for RAID and keep one or two spares per batch.
Can I buy a single drive, or only in bulk?
Single units and bulk are both fine. Pricing is quoted per part number and quantity, and larger batch requests receive batch pricing.
What warranty applies?
90-day warranty from delivery, on both New and Used units.
How do I get a price?
The typical quoted range is shown on this page; final pricing comes per part number and quantity. Message WhatsApp +86 13068616914 with your quantity and condition mix for a quote.
Where do you ship from?
Orders are dispatched from Hong Kong, China with export documents. Destination and shipping method are confirmed in the quote.
What is the difference between the New and Used variants?
Same model, same capacity and interface. New units are unused stock; Used units are previously deployed and bench-tested in-house. The condition of the exact units allocated to your order is confirmed in the quote.
