HDD hard drives will be integrated with NVMe technology

According to Seagate, combining traditional magnetic storage technology with the PCIe-based NVMe protocol will provide a storage solution that is significantly more cost-effective than SSDs, while improving the performance of HDDs in next-generation data centers.

The new technology eliminates the need for legacy SAS/SATA interfaces and proprietary controllers, promising higher throughput and lower latency. Seagate also highlights the ability to connect NVMe drives directly to GPUs, bypassing bottlenecks in the data path through the CPU.

Testing results show that the platform reduces storage-related latency, optimizes data caching, and increases utilization in multi-rack storage clusters. Seagate claims that NVMe HDDs will deliver 10 times more carbon footprint per terabyte, 4 times more power efficiency, and a “significantly lower” cost per terabyte than SSDs.

Seagate is currently focused on scaling its HAMR-based Mozaic 3+ platform and developing higher-capacity hard drives, while also working with partners to explore NVMe storage solutions.
