Seagate brings enterprise-class NAS HDD for SMBs

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Seagate Technology has announced its new enterprise NAS HDD – a high capacity drive targeting businesses seeking to optimize their computing for performance and reliability using Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems.

Scott Horn, vice president, marketing, Seagate, said, “As the industry moves deeper into the cloud era, all businesses need solutions that enable applications to be accessed anywhere at any time. With our portfolio of NAS products, we can effectively target the needs of all types of businesses and scale with them as they grow in size. These drives are tailored to the requirements of businesses, ensuring customers have choices so they are only paying for the features they need.”

Available in 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6TB capacities, the  HDD can deliver up to 96TBs in one 16-bay rackmount or tower form factor. With a 50 percent capacity advantage over competitive offerings, the 6TB drive delivers the highest capacity available on the market.

Using RV sensor technology, the device can also sustain performance streaming and random read/write workloads for growing business data needs, intrinsically adjusting and compensating based on usage.

In the event of a failure, be it environmental, human error, or accident, the enterprise NAS HDD is supported by Seagate’s own Rescue Data Recovery plans (optional), which provide end-to-end protection enabling data recovery. The plans also cover NAS HDDs targeting the SOHO and prosumer NAS market and Surveillance HDDs targeting video surveillance systems.
