“Cloud-based data center storage needs are expanding faster than
many current infrastructures can sustain, rendering the capacity
demands of users a herculean task for cloud managers,” said Mark
Re, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Seagate.
“Built on our years of research and development of sealed-drive
technology, our new helium-based enterprise drive is designed
precisely to help data-centric organizations worldwide solve
the needs of their growing storage business.”
“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,” said Fan Ruiqi, president
of storage products at Huawei. “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 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. Offering 25 percent more
density to help businesses dramatically increase petabytes per
rack, the drive delivers higher performance and reduced power and
weight.
“More and more data centers are being put into operation as a
result of data growing at an exponential rate. With this in mind,
we are laser focused on lowering our TCO and confident the new
Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD can help us with this
endeavor,” said Li Shu, senior expert technical support for storage
and research and development, at Alibaba. “We value the drives
winning combination of higher storage capacities, increased
performance and low power consumption— making it a win-win for both
us and our customers.”
“At-scale data centers are faced with the challenge of
efficiently storing massive amounts of unstructured digital data,”
said John Rydning, IDC’s research vice president for hard disk
drives. “Seagate’s new 10TB HDD for enterprise data centers is its
first product to employ helium technology and will help data center
customers to expand storage capacity economically.”
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. Featuring
Seagate’s PowerChoice™ technology, the drive 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 24x7 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.
The new Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD 10TB is now shipping
to select customers worldwide. For more information on all Seagate
