HAMR technology

Seagate has released its largest hard drive yet, a 32TB model built on the long-awaited heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology. The drive is based on Seagate’s advanced Mozaic 3+ platform.

With new MACH.2 and HAMR technologies

Seagate has officially announced its newest Exos 14 HDD at the OCP summit, a helium filled 14TB HDD aimed at the enterprise market, which uses new MACH.2 Multi Actuator and HAMR technologies, allowing it to hit a record 480MB/s sustained throughput.

12TB drives later this year, 18TB next year

According to senior executives familiar with Seagate’s research and development plans, the company plans to fine-tune the next three years of its HDD developments using shingled magnetic recording (SMR), two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR), and heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR).
