Seagate's Mosaic 3+ platform delivers mass-capacity storage with areal densities exceeding 3TB per disk through a unique HAMR implementation. The drives are ideal for AI-related data storage and other applications requiring significant space efficiency. Although consumer PCs are shifting away from traditional hard drives, spinning platters remain the most cost-effective storage solution for large data centers where speed is not critical. In comparison, Western Digital is set to release HAMR drives in 2027, while Toshiba is testing the technology with an uncertain availability timeline.
Seagate's Mosaic 3+ platform incorporates HAMR to deliver mass-capacity storage, achieving unprecedented areal densities of 3TB per disk and beyond.
The large drives are particularly suited for AI-related data storage, emphasizing the need for high capacity in small spaces.
Despite a trend away from hard drives in consumer PCs, spinning platters still offer the best storage-per-gigabyte for large data centers.
Western Digital plans to release its first HAMR drives in 2027, while Toshiba is testing HAMR technology without a defined public release timeline.
