Seagate Technology has unveiled a portfolio of 8 TB high-capacity drives — the Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD, Seagate Enterprise NAS HDD and Seagate Kinetic HDD.

The Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD incorporates proven conventional magnetic recording hard drive technology, with a 100% increase in random read/write performance compared to previous generations. The 8 TB Enterprise NAS HDD provides one-third more storage density for tower or rack mounts compared to the previous 6 TB generation drive.

The 8 TB Kinetic HDD reduces TCO by redefining and greatly simplifying storage architectures for today’s use-case scenarios. By combining an open source object storage protocol with Ethernet connectivity, Kinetic HDD eliminates multiple layers of legacy hardware and software infrastructure with a simple key/value interface. This in turn eliminates or dramatically reduces the need for traditional storage servers reducing capital equipment costs, power consumption and human expenses associated with managing storage for a total savings of up to 70%.
