Topic: Scalable AI Storage with Mozaic 3+ Platform
Key Highlights:
[1] Data is growing faster than the world’s ability to store it. Around 30 ZB of data is created per year vs the 2 ZB of manufactured capacity
[2] Building, operating, and growing data centers are customers’ greatest opportunity and challenges. This is due to the boom in the data center market but a significant resource shortage on the other hand
[3] The most meaningful measurement of technology progression is areal density innovation and not merely unit capacity
[4] Earlier hard drives were restricted to 2 TB per platter and for a 20 TB drive, we needed to stack 10 such platters. By 2024, Seagate has managed to increase that to 3 TB per platter. Further, we have a roadmap to reach 5 TB per platter by 2028
[5] We are actively working towards enhancing sustainability. Our drives consume 40% less power than typical hard drive installation. These are made with 28% recycled materials
