Seagate advances 20TB HDD shipments answering mass data growth

Data is at the heart of today’s most groundbreaking technological and business innovations. The new Exos X20 20TB and IronWolf Pro 20TB conventional magnetic recording (CMR)-based hard disc drives (HDDs) from Seagate Technology Holdings plc increase mass-capacity data storage capabilities. The ability to store, retrieve, and activate as much data as possible is critical to maximizing the value of an organization’s data.

Scalable, Responsive, and Innovative Enterprise Solutions

The Exos X20 corporate HDD from Seagate is intended for maximum storage capacity and the most efficient use of rack space. The 20TB Exos X20 is designed for cloud storage and delivers performance for hyperscale data centers and enormous scale-out applications. Exos X20 features advanced caching that performs up to three times better than systems that merely use read or write caching, with a low latency of 4.16ms and consistent response times. The Exos X20 additionally has a higher sustained data rate (SDR) of up to 285 MB/s.

Enterprises rely on Exos X20 to achieve the highest data and operational efficiencies, as well as the largest storage densities in the datasphere, thanks to the Seagate SecureTM technology and a 2.5M-hr MTBF rating.

Seagate’s recently released Exos CORVAULTTM intelligent storage solution can be used with the Exos X20 HDD to give maximum data density in a small footprint. CORVAULT offers over 2.12PB of SAN-level performance built on Seagate’s groundbreaking storage design. Built on Seagate’s 4U chassis, CORVAULToffers 106 Exos business drives in only seven inches (18 cm) of rack space.

High Capacity, Dependable Solutions for Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs)

Seagate’s new IronWolf Pro20TB HDD features AgileArray technology built for network-attached storage (NAS) to provide superior RAID stability and compatibility for SMBs’ most demanding NAS workloads. IronWolf Pro 20TB is designed with built-in rotational vibration (RV) sensors to deliver reliable performance for NAS systems with little lag or downtime.

The new IronWolf Pro 20TB is purpose-built for severe user workloads, with user workload rate limits of 300TB/year—a must for today’s NAS systems. It also has sustained transfer speeds of 285MB/s, allowing users to interact in multi-user NAS systems by sharing data, backing up, and addressing large workloads.

For added peace of mind, the new drive comes with an IronWolf Health Management system for quick access and drive health monitoring, as well as a five-year limited product warranty and three years of Rescue Data Recovery Services.
