Exos and IronWolf drives show spinning rust isn't going anywhere
Seagate has released two 30 TB hard drives based on its HAMR technology, pitching them as more energy efficient cheaper options for datacenter operators dealing with AI workloads.
The hard drive maker today confirmed global channel availability of Exos M 30 TB and IronWolf Pro 30 TB units.
The devices take Seagate to within the touching distance of rvials' products: Western Digital launched HDDs with up to 32 TB in a single unit late last year, and Toshiba has demonstrated similar capacities. Seagate itself sampled a 36 TB drive in January, claiming it has a roadmap to 100 TB.
