R1
The short version
The Exos X24 12TB is an enterprise hard drive using CMR recording, listed at retail with a SATA interface. Seagate now presents the range under one Exos family page, which lists this part number, and its older X24 address no longer loads a product page. It suits servers and bulk storage arrays rather than desktop PCs. Seagate's detailed specification table could not be read, so spindle speed, cache and warranty are left unconfirmed here.

Common questions
Is this the SATA or SAS version?
Best Buy lists part number ST12000NM002H as SATA. Other Exos X24 part numbers use SAS, so confirm the exact part number before ordering.
Is it CMR or SMR?
Seagate's CMR and SMR list shows the 12TB Exos using CMR, with SMR used only on some much larger Exos capacities.
