A giant in the hard drive field: Seagate releases a 30TB mechanical hard drive composed of 10 3TB platters

According to news from this site on January 17, Seagate has officially released the first-ever 30TB mechanical hard drive Exos X Mozaic 3, which is the largest HDD hard drive to date. It will initially be aimed at the ultra-large-scale enterprise market and data centers, and will be sold to end users in the future. No professional hardware is required for use.

According to foreign media TechRadar reported today, Seagate executive vice president and chief commercial officer BS Teh revealed in an interview that the company uses some "original" internal technologies , successfully achieving a breakthrough of loading more TB capacity per disk. It uses "the world's smallest and most sensitive" magnetic field reading sensor to read data on hard disks, and a 12nm integrated controller is claimed to be 3 times more efficient than previous solutions.

BS Teh confirmed in the interview that Seagate has no plans to increase the number of disks, because it will have adverse effects on noise, cost, reliability, weight and power consumption (as well as heat dissipation).

The hard drive released this time has ten built-in 3TB platters, which is equivalent to an actual density of 1.742 TB per square inch. Seagate also plans to launch higher-capacity models to cater to "hyperscale" customers who desire the best value for money.

Seagate CEO Dave Mosley said that Seagate is the only hard drive manufacturer in the world with a tape density capability of 3 TB per platter, and will also launch 5 TB platters in the future. .

According to previous reports on this site, Seagate released a large-capacity hard drive "SkyHawk AI 24TB" suitable for AI surveillance cameras in December last year, priced at US$599.99. In October last year, Seagate released the new Exos X24 mechanical hard drive, which also has a 24TB capacity and a speed of up to 285 MB/s. It is designed for maximum storage capacity and highest rack space efficiency.
