Given the premium nature of the 18TB capability level, Seagate is launching the capability solely within the IronWolf Pro line (the vanilla IronWolf fashions prime out at 16TB). The ST18000NE000 18TB Pro mannequin is suitable with NAS items of as much as 24 bays, and has a workload score of 300TB/yr. It is a 7200 rpm 9-platter helium-filled drive, with a DRAM cache of 256MB (which appears to be half of what’s provided by Western Digital of their Gold line of enterprise exhausting drives – the opposite 18TB alternative within the retail market). The drive comes with a 5-year guarantee and is rated for 24×7 operation, with a MTTF of 1.2M hours.
The common energy consumption sees a rise from 7.6W for the 16TB mannequin to 8W for the 18TB model. The drive does use TDMR know-how for the heads, and we’ve got reached out to Seagate for data on potential HAMR utilization (Update: HAMR is NOT used within the IronWolf Pro 18TB).
The new SATA SSDs are 2.5″ drives with totally different optimizations for various use-cases. The IronWolf 125 is supposed as a capability play – accessible in capacities starting from 250GB all the best way to 4TB. It comes with a 0.7DWPD score, and no power-loss safety. On the opposite hand, the IronWolf Pro 125 has a 1DWPD score, extra over-provisioning (rated capacities vary from 240GB to three.84TB), and comes with power-loss safety. The Pro drives include a 2M hour MTTF, whereas the corresponding metric is 1.8M hours for the non-Pro model. Both drives include a 5-year guarantee, with the Pro sequence together with a 3-year information restoration service.
