Seagate has released its first heat-assisted magnetic recording hard drives for individual buyers, marking the commercial debut of technology
>the company has developed for more than two decades.
The 30TB IronWolf Pro and Exos M drives cost $600, while 28TB models are priced at $570.
>The drives use HAMR technology, which uses tiny lasers.
Seagate announced delivery of HAMR drives up to 36TB to datacenter customers in late 2024. The consumer models use conventional magnetic recording technology and are built on Seagate's Mosaic 3+ platform, achieving areal densities of 3TB per disk. So in effect it has 10x disks which are very thin.
Western Digital plans to release its first HAMR drives in 2027.
