CEO for the world’s largest HDD supplier said it sold tens of thousands of millions of USD worth of drives for two cloud computing -companies


  • Despite predictions, HDDs are here to remain and increase capacity
  • Seagate recently sold an exabyte of Hamr -storage to two hyperscalers
  • “Tens of thousands of drives” probably cost between $ 33 and $ 35 million

Although like pure storage, IBM and META believe that writing is on the wall of hard drives, the technology does not look like it is soon disappearing.

Seagate and its most important Rival Western Digital are working on magnetic recording methods that allow the drives to continue to increase capacity, which helps them maintain a clear advantage over SSDs when it comes to storage density.
