Seagate’s 30 TB hard disk release date has been announced

After several months, the Seagate brand finally announced the release time of its next generation of massive hard drives. This announcement comes after the long-hyped development of the second-generation HAMR platform, capable of delivering more than 30 TB of capacity. Based on the explanations provided, these products will be released to the market in a limited way in 2023. Stay with Lion Tech.

The new HAMR platform, which is currently being developed by Seagate, is expected to have the ability to increase memory capacity. For this reason, the manufacturer has no plans to limit its hard drives in the capacity of 30 TB and is looking to develop larger models up to a maximum of 50 TB.

Seagate’s 30 TB hard disk release date has been announced

The published roadmap of the company’s future plans shows that from 2023, Seagate will focus on hard disk drives of 30 TB and above. Of course, there is no word yet on when the 50TB model will be released. Seagate said in this regard:

We are well on our way to developing and launching our 30TB (and above) series of drives based on the HAMR platform. We expect to start the process of sending shipments to our customers by next year.

The first generation of the HAMR memory platform has been released for some time to specific customers and Lyve storage systems, but the second generation of said drives is supposed to be available to a wider range of users. Also, Seagate’s new hard disk series will not be mass-produced in 2023, and its target market is data centers at first, and after an unknown period of time, it will be available to other customers.

The use of new technology in Seagate hard disks has a favorable effect on reading and writing speed, magnetic layer, etc., and makes the parts last longer. However, this issue has caused the final price of the product to rise and you have to pay more for it.
