Seagate Ships 30TB Drives to Meet Global Surge in Data Center AI Storage Demand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

New data sovereignty laws and renewed focus on data center disaggregation are driving hundreds of billions of dollars in on-prem and hybrid data center investment<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seagate Technology Holdings plc<\/a><\/strong> (NASDAQ: STX), a global leader in mass-capacity data storage, today announced the global channel availability of up to 30TB Exos\u00ae M and IronWolf\u00ae Pro hard drives. Built on Seagate\u2019s Mozaic 3+\u2122 platform and powered by heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology, these drives are engineered to meet increasing demand for scalable, high-performance storage driven by the rise of AI deployments that are supplementing traditional enterprise infrastructure development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over one million Mozaic hard drives now shipped, Seagate has reached more than just a milestone\u2014it has marked a defining moment that underscores the strength and maturity of its breakthrough storage technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, approximately 90% of the world\u2019s data is stored in just 10 countries. However, data gravity is increasingly pulling networks to the edge as nearly 150 countries adopt data sovereignty requirements, and AI workloads continue to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Datacenters\u2014on-prem, private, and sovereign\u2014are leveraging AI to unlock the value of their proprietary data,\u201d said Melyssa Banda, SVP of Edge Storage and Services, Seagate. \u201cOur 30TB drives are designed to support these rapidly growing trends, delivering the capacity, efficiency, and resilience needed to power the AI workloads.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industry leaders are aligning around the fundamental data management and infrastructure shifts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hyperscalers and enterprise data centers are in the early stages of an all-out arms race to develop AI infrastructure resulting in rapidly increasing capex spending on performance-oriented hardware,” said Ed Burns, Research Director, Hard Disk Drive and Storage Technologies at IDC. “While not often associated with performance such as low latency, the highest capacity HDDs are a critical strategic asset in the AI development process, filling the need for mass capacity storage of the foundational data essential to building and improving the highest quality AI models in the market today and into the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enterprise customers are seeking ways to improve the density of their data centers, lowering power consumption and square footage requirements while ensuring storage continues to meet strategic requirements, and Seagate’s new 30TB Exos product is the highest density hard drive offered in the industry today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperscale and enterprise data center customers looking for optimal performance and cost tradeoffs for mass-capacity storage will benefit from Seagate\u2019s HAMR product roadmap, which is poised to accelerate areal density growth rates for HDDs in the years to come.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
