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.
Culminating in a breakthrough collection of nanoscale technologies, Mozaic 3+™ is a hard drive platform that incorporates Seagate’s unique implementation of HAMR to deliver mass-capacity storage at unprecedented areal densities of 3TB per disk and beyond, enabling data center efficiency like never before.
Storage at the edge involves locally storing data on devices or servers near its origin, bypassing the need to send it to centralized data centers or cloud storage. This common strategy in edge computing prioritizes low-latency processing and real-time analytics, helping organizations minimize latency, bandwidth usage, and enhance performance for applications requiring rapid data access. Edge storage includes various devices like solid-state drives (SSDs), hard disk drives (HDDs), or specialized appliances tailored for specific environments or use cases.
The convergence of physical and digital realms at the edge facilitates real-time data reception, processing, generation, consumption, and transfer between applications, users, or systems. As more applications rapidly transition to the cloud, the importance of enhancing performance and reducing operational costs has become increasingly crucial. This objective is achievable by positioning solutions at the edge.
Edge storage devices, utilizing solid-state drives (SSDs) or advanced NVMe SSDs, store data at the network edge, minimizing data transfer to centralized storage or cloud services. This approach reduces latency and optimizes data processing by storing information closer to the source of generation.
Furthermore, sensitive information is kept within its country of origin to comply with regulations like GDPR that mandate user data protection and limit cross-border transfer.
Edge storage also reduces bandwidth costs and mitigates the risk of network failures, as data doesn’t always need to be sent back to a central server for processing. It’s an integral part of edge computing strategies, helping organizations manage the massive influx of data generated by today’s digital technologies.
In computer networking, an edge device serves as the gateway into enterprise or service provider core networks. Examples encompass routers, routing switches, integrated access devices (IADs), multiplexers, and various metropolitan area network (MAN) and wide area network (WAN) access devices.
Traditional IT infrastructure centralized resources in data centers, requiring data exchange at the edge to traverse to the core for processing. This approach introduces challenges in latency and bandwidth, particularly when managing large data volumes. Edge infrastructure addresses these hurdles by dispersing computing and storage resources closer to micro, metro, and macro edge locations, where data is generated and consumed.
Edge storage devices are designed to store data at the edge of the network, near the source of data generation, instead of sending data over a network to a centralized storage system or cloud. These devices typically use solid-state drives (SSDs) or next-generation NVMe SSD. The data stored on edge devices can be processed locally or moved to a central location for further analysis as needed.
Overall, edge storage is a key component in the effectiveness of edge computing, helping to improve the speed, efficiency, and reliability of your IT network. Some benefits include:

Edge storage has many use cases across different industries to solve today’s data challenges.
In the manufacturing industry, edge storage is used for real-time quality control and optimization. Sensors on assembly lines can detect faults and anomalies, storing the data locally for immediate analysis and troubleshooting.
In agriculture, sensors and GPS on farming equipment increase crop yields and reduce costs on fertilizers and pesticides. Field sensors gather data on soil conditions, weather, and crop health, which is stored locally for instant analysis and action.
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and big data analytics will contribute to a growing emphasis on data-driven decision-making. This will fuel the need for edge storage and technologies like STaaS and SDS, as these technologies enable efficient storage, management, and analysis of large datasets.
Finally, as more organizations move operations to the cloud, the demand for storage as a service (STaaS) and software-defined storage (SDS) will increase. These technologies allow for cost-effective, scalable, and flexible storage solutions that are ideal for cloud computing environments.
Deep learning is transforming manufacturing. At Seagate, we see a historic opportunity to derive previously untapped value from data right on the factory floors. Seagate’s Executive Vice President Jeff Nygaard explains what the smart manufacturing revolution might mean for your business.
