Seagate's Exos Mozaic 3+ hard drives featuring its heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology have passed qualification at leading customers, and the company is ready to ship these HDDs in volumes. While previously the company shipped these drives inside its Corvault and Lyve systems and to select customers, volumes of these products were low. Now that some of the company's partners have qualified these devices, the company can kick off mass production.
"Seagate has successfully completed qualification testing for its HAMR-based Mozaic drives with several customers within the Mass Capacity markets, including a leading cloud service provider," a statement in the company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC (and noticed by Blocks & Files) reads. "The Company expects to begin shipping initial HAMR product volume to this cloud customer in the coming weeks."
