Seagate unveils Mozaic 3+ hard drive platform with 30TB capacity

DUBLIN – Seagate Technology Holdings plc, a world leader in data storage solutions, has launched its groundbreaking Mozaic 3+ hard drive platform, featuring Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) technology. This innovation enables the company to achieve areal densities surpassing 3TB per platter, propelling its Exos flagship product family into a new realm with drives now offering capacities exceeding 30TB.

The Mozaic 3+ technology integrates several cutting-edge components:

• A superlattice platinum-alloy media that ensures magnetic stability.
• A nanophotonic laser designed for precise data inscription.
• The Gen 7 Spintronic Reader, which utilizes quantum technology sensors.

These technological advancements are not just about increasing storage size; they are also focused on enhancing the overall efficiency of data centers. The new drives are engineered to double storage capabilities within the same infrastructure footprint. This leap forward is anticipated to significantly improve energy efficiency and contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, aligning with the global push towards more environmentally sustainable technology practices.

Seagate has confirmed that the distribution of these high-capacity drives will begin within this quarter, targeting hyperscale cloud customers. A major cloud service provider is expected to ramp up its usage of Seagate’s drives.

The Mozaic 3+ platform represents a strategic step for Seagate, as the company continues to address the ever-increasing demand for data storage in an era where digital information is expanding at an unprecedented rate.
