16TB SAS vs 16TB SATA → (coming soon)
MDD (MaxDigital Data) drives are rebranded enterprise mechanisms at steep discounts. They ship new with 5-year warranties and are identical internally to Seagate Exos or HGST Ultrastar.
Energy-assisted PMR (ePMR) is used by WD Ultrastar DC HC550+ for 18TB+. It is NOT shingled - ePMR is a CMR variant that uses current-assisted recording for higher density. Safe for all workloads.
14-20TB nearline SAS drives currently offer the best $/TB in enterprise storage. Larger capacities may have better density but carry a price premium per TB.
At 14TB+ there is often a SATA equivalent at lower cost. SAS is worth the premium if you need dual-port multipath, faster error recovery, or SAS expander backplanes.
1 in-stock listing out of 1 tracked; the cheapest is the Seagate Exos 16TB SAS 12G 7.2K at $548.55 ($34.28/TB). The table on this page is the live ranking.
All 1 in-stock listings are recertified or used, so the warranty comes from the seller rather than the manufacturer; each row shows its own claim.
None of the 1 tracked listings (including the Seagate Exos 16TB SAS 12G 7.2K) has a manufacturer-sourced recording value yet, so this page states none - an unsourced drive is never assumed CMR.
Monthly average of every listing tracked that month, new and used together. A level, not a price change: it moves when the mix of listings changes.
