Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX), a global leader in mass-capacity data storage, has announced the launch of its Seagate Exos® 4U100 and 4U74 JBOD systems, redefining the future of enterprise data infrastructure. Engineered for high-performance environments at both the data center and the edge, these flagship systems deliver up to 3.2 petabytes of storage in a single, high-density enclosure—making them among the most complete storage platforms available in the enterprise market today.
As organizations grapple with explosive data growth driven by generative AI, disaggregated architectures, and data sovereignty requirements, Seagate’s new Exos systems provide scalable and energy-efficient SAS-4 JBOD storage solutions. Powered by Seagate’s Mozaic™ technology, the systems are designed to consolidate data, enhance operational efficiency, and support evolving AI-driven workflows.
AI and the New Era of Enterprise Storage
Generative AI is fundamentally reshaping data creation and management. A recent IDC study sponsored by Seagate reveals that 78% of organizations are generating new types of content, driving an unprecedented surge in enterprise storage requirements. “The question is no longer whether data volumes will increase, but how enterprises can harness that growth to deliver measurable value,” said Adam Wright, Research Manager at IDC.
The shift toward hybrid and distributed data ecosystems—driven by local compliance mandates and on-premises AI workflows—demands storage systems that deliver high performance, robust security, and energy efficiency. Seagate’s Exos 4U series meets this need, offering a future-ready platform that supports data-intensive AI, ML, and analytics workloads at scale.
Innovation Engineered for the Edge
At the core of Seagate’s innovation, the Exos 4U100 leverages Mozaic HAMR (Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording) technology to provide industry-leading density, exceptional throughput, and enhanced sustainability. It supports petabyte-scale AI and ML operations, including frequent model checkpointing, continuous ingestion, and long-term data retention, enabling seamless scalability from data center to edge environments.
Key Benefits of the Seagate Exos 4U100 and 4U74:
- Massive Capacity: Up to 3.2 petabytes in a single chassis, supporting current and future-generation drives.
- Flexible Configuration: SAS or SATA drive compatibility with simplified deployment and maintenance.
- Operational Efficiency: Up to 70% more efficient cooling and 30% lower power consumption than previous systems.
- Streamlined Installation: Tool-less access, optimized for diverse rack depths, and fast setup for distributed deployments.
- Enterprise-Grade Security: Includes Secure Boot, Seagate Secure™ certificates, and Redfish management for compliance and data sovereignty assurance.
Availability
The Seagate Exos 4U100 and 4U74 JBOD systems will be available globally through Seagate’s authorized channel partners starting next quarter. Enterprises can contact their local Seagate representatives for pricing and deployment details.
Leadership Quote
“The Seagate Exos 4U100 JBOD marks the beginning of a bold new chapter in edge storage innovation—engineered to meet the evolving demands of data creation, storage, replication and analysis at the edge. It’s not just a product; it’s a demonstration of Seagate’s commitment to empowering organizations to retain more data for longer periods of time, as leaders assess the value data can bring to future business outcomes.” – said Melyssa Banda, SVP Edge Storage and Services at Seagate.
With this launch, Seagate strengthens its leadership in next-generation data infrastructure—delivering high-capacity, sustainable, and AI-optimized storage solutions built for the evolving enterprise edge.
