The New Guardian Series Meets Customer Needs
for Rapidly Evolving Storage and Offers Game-Changing Drives
Purpose-Built to Maximize Data Value
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, today unveiled a new portfolio of 10TB 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 10TB 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 10TB 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 organizations 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
10TB products also make it easier for everyone to create, consume
and use data.”
Innovative capabilities in the new 10TB drives include
multi-tier caching technology (MTC Technology™), an intelligent
caching architecture for maximized performance; AgileArray™,
designed to optimize 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 10TB product branding represents the next phase of the
company’s new corporate brand unveiled at CES in 2015, in which
Seagate introduced its “Living Logo” that visually captured the
idea that data is most valuable as part of our daily lives at home
and at work. The new Guardian Series product brands link this
living data concept more directly to Seagate’s foundational
technologies in a way that is memorable and easier for customers to
understand.
BarraCuda Pro 10TB Desktop Drive
As data becomes the life blood of all online interaction and
workforce productivity, Seagate has brought back its hugely popular
BarraCuda brand to respond to demands for high capacity storage at
an affordable price point. BarraCuda Pro combines 10TB at 7200 RPM
for outstanding 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.
With its enduring legacy of PC Compute drives, BarraCuda
responds to market demands for high performance hard drives that
don’t sacrifice capacity or affordability. The 2.5 inch and 3.5
inch fierce BarraCuda drives offer a versatile and dependable line
of hard drives for nearly every application and budget. Lightweight
and robust, the 2.5 inch BarraCuda drive delivers market-leading
cost/TB options in a thin 7mm form factor with up to 2TB of
capacity.
Furthermore, the FireCuda™ SSHD combines flash with the latest
hard drive technology for both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch offerings. The
FireCuda drives ignite both fantastic capacity (up to 2TB) and
performance solutions (up to 5 times faster than its HDD
counterpart) for gaming and creative applications.
“The Barracuda family has a rich history of delivering reliable
drives at an affordable price point for our customers, who are
struggling to keep up with the vast amounts of data they’re
creating and consuming,” said Merle McIntosh, SVP Sales and
Marketing, Newegg. “Seagate is pushing the boundaries on capacity
and a cost-effective 10TB option is a product our customers will
appreciate.”
IronWolf 10TB for NAS
Tough, ready, and scalable, IronWolf combines the legacy of big
iron with tough, pack-leading performance for NAS applications and
a wide range of capabilities designed to meet the most challenging
always-on environments. NAS-optimized with AgileArray, IronWolf is
built with drive balance, and is the first in its class of drives
to have rotational vibration (RV) sensors to mitigate vibration in
multi-drive systems, RAID optimization for best performance with
error recovery control, and advance power management providing
power savings in NAS. The result is power when and where it’s
needed most. IronWolf raises the bar even further with multi-user
technology that provides a 180TB/year user workload rate.
“It is critical for businesses with demanding data growth to
select the right drive that is optimized for enterprise NAS usage
and high capacity data storage,” said Jones Tsai, vice president,
Hardware Division at Synology Inc. “Seagate IronWolf works
seamlessly with our latest technology developments. With the
perfect balance of durability and agility, IronWolf meets the
requirements to support running multiple enterprise-level
applications developed by Synology on NAS.”
“NAS hardware and software has greatly evolved to cover
potentially limitless applications for home and business users.
This evolution now calls for a new breed of hard drive that can
provide the capacity, performance and flexibility for
next-generation QNAP NAS,” said Meiji Chang, GM of QNAP. “IronWolf
from Seagate represents a great leap forward for NAS hard drives,
and we are amazed at its potential to take QNAP NAS to the next
level.”
SkyHawk 10TB for Surveillance
An industry first, Seagate celebrates its 10th year of shipping
surveillance drives with its latest 10TB SkyHawk offering for
surveillance systems relying on large storage solutions for network
video recording (NVR). SkyHawk drives use rotational vibration
sensors to help minimize read/write errors, and can support the
razor sharp vision of 64 cameras, more than any other drive on the
market. Ideal for modern, hi-resolution systems running 24/7,
SkyHawk drives also come with a data recovery services option for
additional peace of mind.
“Seagate pioneered surveillance purpose-built drives more than
10 years ago with Hikvision’s R&D team, and today they continue
to lead and partner closely with us to develop surveillance storage
solutions of the future,” said R&D director Mr. Chenghua Sun at
Hikvision. “With the advances in camera technology from 4k to
thermal to panoramic recording, Hikvision believes in Seagate’s
technology to optimize storage for highest quality recordings and
to ensure customer data is safe and secure.”
“Seagate is a powerful storage brand in the surveillance
market,” said James Wang, vice president of Dahua Overseas Business
Center. “We’re proud to stand-by them as a strategic partner and to
introduce the next evolution of Seagate surveillance storage with
SkyHawk and an incredible 10TB capacity point.”
“Libraries of digital content continue to expand, both in the
home and the workplace,” according to John Rydning, IDC’s research
vice president for hard disk drives. “Seagate’s new 10TB HDD
product lineup provides consumers and organizations with a range of
capacious, on-premise HDD storage alternatives to the cloud that
address a wide variety of storage use cases.”
IronWolf and BarraCuda Pro are now shipping worldwide, and
SkyHawk is currently sampling to select customers with wide-scale
availability to be announced shortly. For more information on the
