Seagate Showcases MACH.2 Technology. Do You Like It?

Seagate has developed MACH.2 technology and HAMR which is used on hard disk drives.

With these two technologies, the hard drive speed can reach up to 480 MB/s.

MACH.2 technology attract many users attention.

Now, we will show you some information about it in this post.

Two Technologies Mastered by Seagate

Seagate has released a financial report recently.

But the HDD capacity shipment is 92.9 PB.

Now, Seagate has mastered two new and vital technologies in the HDD field.

The first one is MACH.2 technology.

Usually, the Exos hard drive capacity is 14 TB.

With the MACH.2 technology, the drive speed can reach up to 480 MB/S.

This speed is comparable to some SATA SSD drives.

The other one is HAMR, which is called thermomagnetic assisted magnetic recording technology.

Seagate also said that the combination of MACH.2 and HAMR is underdeveloped and it has reached a new record.

It is said that this combination is running for 6000 hours and the files volume is 3.2 PB.

MACH.2 technology is much attractive in these two kinds of technology.

It attracts many users attention.

So, some of you must want to understand it.

Now, we will show you some basic information about it.

MACH.2 can also be named as the Multi-Actuator multi-driver.

you might see the structure from the following picture.

What is the rule of MACH.2 technology?

What can you see from the above structure?

You know that the current HDD utilizes a multi-head system.

you could also understand this technology as the hard drive SLI/CF technology.

you’re free to note that the MACH.2 structure is more complicated.

But, dont worry, it has its own advantage.

This technology can highly improve the hard disks performance.

you could say that the Seagates Exos hard drive is a big improvement.

According to the report, currently, the MACH.2 hard drive has 18 heads.

What can you learn from this number?

According to the develop improvements, an HDD is able to transmit 550 TB files every year.

That is to say, it can transmit 2750 TB per 5 years.

Seagate Exos 14 TB hard drive applies both MACH.2 and HAMR technologies.

Till now, the HARM head is running 6000 hours, said by Seagate.

The files transmitted capacity exceeds 3.2 PB.

This number is 20 times higher than the industry requirement.

But, the fact is that these two technologies will be mainly used for enterprise using hard drives.

For ordinary users, SSD is still the first choice.
