Seagate Technology Holdings has launched Exos M hard drives, which use its HAMR-based Mozaic 3+ technology platform, with capacities up to 36TB. For large-scale data centre installations, the Exos M provides substantial storage scale, with 300% more storage capacity in the same footprint, a 25% cost reduction per terabyte, and a 60% power consumption reduction per terabyte. By sampling drives up to 36TB on the Exos M platform, Seagate is the only data storage firm to reach areal densities of 3.6TB per hard drive platter.
The Exos M hard drive from Seagate Technology Holdings is built on the ground-breaking heat-assisted magnetic recording technology platform Mozaic 3+. In addition to sampling drives up to 36TB on the platform, the company is working with a top cloud service provider to increase its Exos M platform to 32TB capacity points.

Dave Mosley, Seagate CEO said, “We’re in the midst of a seismic shift in the way data is stored and managed. Unprecedented levels of data creation – due to continued cloud expansion and early AI adoption – demand long-term data retention and access to ensure trustworthy data-driven outcomes. From capturing training checkpoints to archiving source-data sets, the more data organizations retain, the more they can validate that their applications are acting as they expect them to – and adjust course as needed.”
“Seagate continues to lead in areal density, sampling drives on the Exos M platform of up to 36TB today. Also, we’re executing on our innovation roadmap, having now successfully demonstrated capacities of over 6TB per disk within our test lab environments.”
“As the world’s leading producer of exabytes, and the only manufacturer capable of manufacturing 3.6TB per platter hard drives at scale, Seagate is laser-focused on delivering the storage scale required for the applications of the future,” Mosley added.
The first heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology platform, Seagate’s Mozaic 3+, provides data centre operators with substantial benefits in terms of scale, total cost of ownership, and sustainability. In addition to offering a 25% cost reduction per terabyte and a 60% reduction in power usage per terabyte, Exos M offers 300% greater storage capacity.

Seagate is the first data storage firm to attain areal densities of 3.6TB per hard drive platter with its Exos M, which is driven by the HAMR-based Mozaic3 + technology and offers capacity points up to 36TB with a 10-platter product design.
Dell Technologies intends to incorporate Exos M 32TB into their high-density storage systems shortly and was one of the first clients to use Mozaic3+.
