Seagate Unveils New Enterprise-Class HDDs

Seagate Technology has announced three new enterprise-class hard disk drives (HDD) optimised for traditional datacentres and emerging cloud infrastructures.

Perfect for cloud bulk data storage, the Seagate Enterprise Value HDD provides up to 3TB of storage in a low-power configuration that is perfect for efficiently and affordably storing the ever-growing amount of unstructured data typically stored in the cloud. The company also announced its next generation of highly-reliable hard disk drives, the Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD featuring a wide range of capacities (1, 2, 3 and 4TB) of secure data storage for robust data center usage and the Seagate Enterprise Performance 10K HDD which delivers best-in-class performance and built-in security for optimised storage efficiency and data protection.

“Anyone building storage systems today, whether for cloud specific applications or enterprise datacentres, is looking to maximise capacity in the smallest possible physical footprint with the lowest operating costs while ensuring long-term scalability,” said Scott Horn, Seagate vice president of Marketing. “Our new line of enterprise hard drives meet this challenge, providing the highest capacity-to-power ratios while ensuring consistent performance and high reliability, making them ideal for use in any datacentre environment.”

With up to 3TB of data storage, the Seagate Enterprise Value HDD, also known as the Constellation CS, provides cloud datacentres with the scalable affordability they need to meet demands in low workload, 24x7 replicated environments. The Enterprise Value HDD provides enterprise-class reliability and 7200-RPM performance for 24x7 multi-drive datacentre environments where low power usage and secure, easy drive disposal is needed.
