Seagate, a world leader in storage solutions, has announced the launch of its first 10TB (terabytes) enterprise capacity hard disk drive (HDD) specifically for cloud-based data centres.
The 10TB HDD merges high capacity with the industry’s lowest power and weight available to meet the growing storage requirements for private and public cloud-based data centres.
The new, robust 10TB Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD provides maximum storage capacity for easy system integration by using the standard 3.5-inch CMR design.
Incorporating seven platters and 14 heads, the drive seals in helium to create a turbulence-free, quiet environment, decreasing both friction and resistance on the platters and delivering the industry’s lowest power/TB ratio and weight specifications for a 10TB HDD.
The drive, which offers 25 percent more density to help businesses dramatically increase petabytes per rack, delivers higher performance and reduced power and weight.
“With the amount of data today growing at an increasingly rapid rate, we are always on the lookout for storage solutions that offer better performance with lower overhead,” President of storage products at Huawei, Fan Ruiqi said in a press release.
He added, “The new Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD from Seagate helps us meet these demands by offering incredible capacity with improvements in power and weight allowing us to drastically reduce our costs.”
The Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD improves performance by using advanced caching algorithms to help cloud data center managers manage the increasing volume of data more quickly.
It features Seagate’s PowerChoice™ technology which helps businesses manage and reduce the ongoing costs associated with power and cooling during idle time, while Seagate’s PowerBalance™ feature helps optimize the IOPS/Watt for even more efficiency.
It delivers an improved MTBF of 2.5 million hours and provides consistent performance to customers in a 24×7 multi-drive environment. Enterprise ready, the Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD is available in both a 6Gb/s SATA and 12Gb/s SAS interfaces.
IDC’s research vice president for hard disk drives, John Rydning said, “At-scale data centres are faced with the challenge of efficiently storing massive amounts of unstructured digital data. Seagate’s new 10TB HDD for enterprise data centres is its first product to employ helium technology and will help data centre customers to expand storage capacity economically.”
The new Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD 10TB is currently shipping to select customers worldwide. For more information on all Seagate products please visit Seagate.
