Flagship SkyHawk® AI, Exos®, and IronWolf® Pro Drives – various capacities – up to 32TB start shipping from 14 January 2026.
Seagate Technology plc’s latest edge-to-cloud portfolio has data storage solutions that have very large capacities, designed to cope in the AI era, that continues to be data-hungry and requiring additional storage capacity.
AI applications in video image analytics (VIA) are fueling unprecedented data growth at the network edge. Recent IDC reports that more than 75% of organisations expect their video data to at least double over the next five years, as AI adds summaries, annotations, and metadata to every frame. The surge is driven by new use cases across industries from accelerating investigations and automating alerts to ensuring compliance and enabling deep operational insights.
Building on its leadership in CMR technology, Seagate is bringing industry-leading 32TB hard drives across its Exos®, SkyHawk® AI, and IronWolf® Pro portfolio to channel and retail partners. Following the blueprint established in hyperscale cloud environments, where Seagate Mozaic technology at higher capacities is already proven, enterprise customers can continue to confidently scale AI workloads across today’s complex hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures. Hard drives deliver unmatched capacity, performance, and scalability, enabling businesses to efficiently store and process massive volumes of data, supporting AI adoption at the edge and in data centers. Melyssa Banda, SVP of Edge Storage and Solutions at Seagate comments:
“AI applications, like computer vision, are transforming how video is used across industries. From smart city initiatives to retail and critical infrastructure, video is becoming a searchable business intelligence, and it’s changing how operations run day-to-day. This pivot demands a new kind of data backbone: mass-capacity storage at the edge and in the data center to keep insights flowing and archives searchable. Without it, the promise of AI-powered video analytics stalls.”
