40TB and 50TB next steps also with 10 disks and HAMR
The launch heralds areal densities of 3TB+ per platter - and a roadmap that will achieve 4TB+ and 5TB+ per platter in the coming years.
The platform powers firm's Exos product family, with newly announced, industry-leading capacity points of 30TB and beyond.
Exos 30TB+ products are shipping in volume this quarter to hyperscale cloud customers.
Company's areal density innovation - which increases the number of bits that can be stored on a platter - addresses common industry pain points. Mozaic 3+ enables customers to store more data in the same floor space than ever before. Upgrading from a 16TB conventional PMR drive (the average capacity in large-scale data centers) to an Exos 30TB Mozaic 3+ technology drive effectively doubles capacity in the same footprint.
