Seagate hits 10 TB

August 2016 Infrastructure, Products & Solutions

Seagate Technology has unveiled a new portfolio of 10 TB high capacity drives dubbed the Guardian Series. Purpose-built to help customers better manage and move the huge amounts of digital data they consume and create, the 10 TB Seagate BarraCuda Pro desktop drive, Seagate IronWolf for NAS applications and Seagate SkyHawk for surveillance introduce new brand names and imagery and represent the most complete 10 TB portfolio in the industry.

The Guardian Series features industry leading technology that raises the bar on features, speed and capacity for use across a wide range of markets, including personal, creative and design computing, online gaming, small- and medium-sized businesses and large-scale surveillance systems.

“Consumers and organisations today face a similar challenge – what to do about the massive deluge of data and video they confront every day,” said Matt Rutledge, senior vice president of Client and Consumer Storage at Seagate. “Whether it’s dominating in the latest game, producing compelling multimedia content, mining data to help create new apps and business services, helping to protect people and places around the world against new threats, and more, the Seagate Guardian Series is designed to preserve your most critical data and move it where it’s needed fast so you can make the most of it. By incorporating powerful new features and capabilities, our 10 TB products also make it easier for everyone to create, consume and use data.”

Innovative capabilities in the new 10 TB drives include multi-tier caching technology (MTC Technology), an intelligent caching architecture for maximised performance; AgileArray, designed to optimise drive performance through error recovery control, dual-plane balancing, and power management; and ImagePerfect for surveillance, supporting more high resolution cameras than any other industry drive.

Seagate’s new 10 TB product brand names represent the next phase of the company’s corporate rebrand, in which Seagate introduced the new ‘Living Logo’ that visually captures the idea that data is most valuable when it is alive and in motion. The new Guardian Series names more directly link this living data concept to Seagate’s foundational technologies.

BarraCuda – compute and gaming

BarraCuda represents the revival of a renowned brand name in the desktop and client markets. It evokes the sense of speed, accuracy and power that the new 10 TB client products offer. The BarraCuda family also includes the new FireCuda SSHD that combines flash with the latest hard drive technology for both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch offerings. The FireCuda drives (up to 2 TB) offer performance solutions (up to 5 times faster than its HDD counterpart) for gaming and creative applications.

BarraCuda Pro combines 10 TB at 7200 RPM for performance, and includes power-saving features to help keep drive operating costs low, as well as a 5-year limited warranty for peace of mind.

IronWolf – NAS and RAID

IronWolf for NAS applications combines the characteristics of Iron – tough, strong, durable and reliable – with the characteristics of a Wolf – strategically minded predators that work together in packs. IronWolf raises the bar even further with multi-user technology that provides a 180 TB/year user workload rate.

SkyHawk – video security and surveillance

Seagate celebrates its 10th year of shipping surveillance drives with its latest 10 TB SkyHawk offering for surveillance systems relying on large storage solutions for network video recording (NVR). SkyHawk drives use rotational vibration sensors to help minimise read/write errors, and can support 64 cameras.

Designed to respond to and better meet the needs of end-users and channel partners, the Guardian Series is also a massive simplification of several product lines, aimed at making products easier to find and more memorable for global end-users and Seagate partners alike. The consolidation of the product line into three main use cases, each with its own unique identifier, will provide partners with the clarity they need to recommend the appropriate products to their customers.

With the creation of the Guardian Series, Seagate looks forward to customers engaging, creating, and storing with the BarraCuda, IronWolf, and SkyHawk.
