Seagate | "Just" a Hard Drive

Hard drives are the unassuming backbone of the world's digital infrastructure. But, there's more to Seagate hard drives than meets the eye. We create some of the most advanced nanoscale technology and material science in the world-harnessing heat, light, and bits to record more data than ever before. Seagate hard drives are where the future is read and written.
Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) accelerates areal density.
Read/Write heads move across disk space with nanoscale precision.
Superlattice material maintains thermal stability with each grain recorded.
Magnetic sensor based on Nobel-winning tech instantly retrieves data.

This is how all technical videos should be made... like watching a movie.

[@lensofthenorth42]

This video deserves 10 freaking Oscars! It's literally an entire documentary without any boring parts!

[@the-MaZe]

This Video about harddrives deserves at least 11 Oscars. Absolutely beautiful.

[@SyrianAtheist]

My 3 Seagate IronWolf drives have been running for 28,616 hours in my Synology without so much as a hiccup. You guys are killing it, way ahead of the competition.

We love to read that! Thank you for choosing Seagate for your storage needs.

This is the single most impressive piece of marketing material for a datacenter technology ever. Yes, NVIDIA superpcs included.

[@JNG889]

Wow. Amazing insight into something we just take for granted. And the fact that the basis for this technology started so many years ago. Must be awesome to work for a company that demonstrates such scientific advances, and the video was well cool too!

Thanks Jamie!

[@leandrolaporta2196]

I got like 50 of those SAS EXOS, very reliable, efficient and fast. And this video doesn't even explain the marvel of coarse and fine positioning OMG, I still remember one of my first drives, the ST-225, How far HDD tech as advanced!

[@seagate]

That's amazing Leandro, thank you for choosing Seagate for your storage needs.

great... HAMR working and great achievement for Seagate 👍👍

[@AiOinc1]

As someone who collects and repairs vintage hard drives: neat Most of this stuff hasn't changed since the late 80s, it's only gotten more fine tuned and more precise. Now access 120MB with a stepper open loop, do what Kalok and Daeyoung tried before they fell in 1994

[@MaiDangThi-js2fq]

Congrulation for great product! HAMR . This is where the future read and written and you know it is hard disk driver!

[@estefaniasaldarriaga2565]

Hi Guys, I am desperate, I have a goflex memory I bought about ten years ago, my children's baby pictures and videos are in it and it just decided not to work anymore, where, it seems to be mechanical issue as when I moved the cable it seem to work and not work, I tried for about two years now to fix it but just postpone it because I don't know where to go, could you please help me on this issue? I can not afford to lose all these many years of memories... :(

[@mikakorhonen5715]

Don't try to fix it at home. Google data recovery service in your country and contact them. Professional can recover your data with right tools.

"Just" priceless family pictures, amirite? 😢😢 going ssd for life.

So basically, Seagate wants Hard drives to make a comeback...so we can expect higher prices on these things going forward. SSD"s and flash storage are killing it now, and are dirt cheap. This means something will happen soon to change that...better stock up on the 18's and 20TB drives. Prices are gonna soon change. This video was cool and all, but I see this as a warning. You were warned.

[@AaronOgus]

Hard drives don’t need to make a comeback. They store >90% of the world’s data and continue to be about 1/7th the cost of flash storage. The roadmaps show HDD will maintain that advantage for the next decade. No warning necessary, this is and will continue to be the cheapest way to store active data, unless some new replacement technology is developed.

[@PineyJustice]

Harddrives will be and for a very long time will remain the tool of choice for cold storage or storage in very large arrays. SSDs are cool and all, but these platter drives are 20tb for 300-400$, SSDs can't touch that and won't for another decade or more. Platter drives in arrays are already stupid fast capable of transfer rates that saturate 10gb or more connections, datacenters have some SSDs but the bulk of storage is definitely still in platter arrays.

[@Fishingwithjameschoi]

@@PineyJusticeyou are 100% correct. Been selling drives since 1995 when there was 15 hard drive manufactures making 20MB and 40MB drives. Now there is only only 2 major HD mfr. (Toshiba market share is too small) and i sell 1TB thru 20TB and 24TB is coming next year ! Good information sir !

[@VennilaveVennilave]

SSD's are still a far fetch dream to store all the data generated every day. It is predicted that the data growth is exponential to the extend of 221,000EB per year. That is 605EB every single day. With all the electronics components shortage especially in flash market, it is nearly impossible for SSD/Flash to accommodate. HDDs are just getting better in term on capacity and all other capabilities. Both HDD and SSD will go exist and both have different market and use cases for many years to come!
