Seagate launches the world's largest capacity hard drive.
Recently, Seagate quietly launched the Exos M series hard drives in two capacity versions: 30 TB using conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology and 32 TB using stacked magnetic recording (SMR) technology. Notably, both versions are built on the thermally assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) platform combined with Seagate's Mozaic 3+ technology.
HAMR is a technology that Seagate has been researching for over a decade, allowing for increased data storage density on hard drives. However, this technology has also faced mixed opinions regarding its reliability, performance, and lifespan.
Seagate claims the new Exos M series hard drives are three times more energy efficient than conventional models, while also utilizing more renewable energy and recycled materials. The company also announced a mean time between failures (MTBF) of up to 2.5 million hours, alleviating concerns about HAMR durability.
Nevertheless, Seagate's choice of HAMR for its 32TB hard drive is still a bold decision. Previously, Western Digital had also launched a 32TB hard drive, but it used traditional SMR technology. The competition between these two giants in the data storage field promises to become even more intense.
Seagate says it has completed testing for its HAMR-based Mozaic drives and expects to ramp up production in 2025.
