Four reasons your data deserves Seagate.
Built to run for years, not months.
Enterprise Exos drives are rated at 2.5 million hours MTBF, and IronWolf Pro is validated for 550 TB of writes per year. These drives are designed to outlast the PC or NAS you first put them in.
Load times measured in seconds.
FireCuda 530 reads at up to 7,300 MB/s on PCIe Gen4, and the FireCuda 540 pushes up to 10,000 MB/s on Gen5. Large game levels and project files open before you've settled in.
A decade of files on a single drive.
Mozaic 3+ HAMR drives now reach 32 TB per unit, with 36 TB sampling. That is room for years of 4K footage, RAW photo libraries, or an entire game collection, on one spindle.
If it fails, recovery is on the table.
FireCuda and IronWolf drives include Seagate Rescue Data Recovery. Seagate's in-house labs report roughly a 95% recovery rate, even after drops, spills, or mechanical failure.
One brand. Every kind of data.
IronWolf NAS Drives
Purpose-built for 24/7 NAS duty in Synology, QNAP, Asustor and TrueNAS systems. AgileArray firmware, CMR recording, rotation-vibration sensors and IronWolf Health Management for early failure warnings. IronWolf Pro now scales to 32 TB.
Exos Enterprise HDDs
The capacity leader for data centres and SA businesses running on-premise infrastructure. 7200 RPM, 256 MB cache, hardware-encryption options, and HAMR-based Mozaic 3+ capacities up to 32 TB, built for racks and rated for years of duty.
SkyHawk Surveillance
Tuned for DVR and NVR systems streaming dozens of HD cameras at once. ImagePerfect firmware handles surveillance write patterns so recordings stay smooth, with SkyHawk AI drives built for on-camera analytics workloads.
FireCuda Gaming SSDs
M.2 NVMe SSDs for gamers and creators. FireCuda 530 on PCIe Gen4 up to 7,300 MB/s and FireCuda 540 on Gen5 up to 10,000 MB/s, with optional heatsinks and PS5 expansion-slot compatibility.
BarraCuda Desktop HDDs
Over two decades of refinement. Dependable SATA III desktop HDDs for everyday builds, bulk secondary storage and archival, with 256 MB cache and capacities now reaching 24 TB.
External & Game Drives
One Touch, Ultra Touch, Expansion desktop drives and officially licensed Game Drives for Xbox and PlayStation 5. Plug-and-play USB storage from pocket-size portables up to high-capacity desktop units, for backups, console libraries and archival.
Find the Seagate made for you.
The competitive gamer
Cut the loading screens.
Big AAA titles can crawl on a mechanical drive. A FireCuda NVMe SSD loads levels and maps in seconds, so you spend less time on the spinner and more time in the match.
The creator
Shoot 4K. Edit without scratching.
An hour of ProRes 4K can eat well over 100 GB. FireCuda SSDs and IronWolf Pro NAS drives handle sustained write-heavy workloads, so scratch disks and renders keep up without dropped frames.
The family archivist
One system. A lifetime of memories.
Birthdays, graduations, holidays. IronWolf NAS drives run around the clock in home servers from Synology, QNAP and Asustor, keeping the family's photos and video backed up and always reachable.
The small business
Years of records, kept safe.
POPIA obligations, tax records, client files that cannot vanish. Exos enterprise HDDs and IronWolf Pro drives back the storage SA firms rely on, from accounting practices to medical and legal offices.
Engineered at the atomic level.
Mozaic 3+
Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) that packs more data onto each platter, at over 3 TB per platter. It is the foundation of Seagate's 32 TB shipping drives, 36 TB samples, and the roadmap beyond.
Seagate Secure
Hardware-based encryption and secure-erase built into the drive firmware. Self-encrypting models meet enterprise compliance standards out of the box, with no extra software required.
Rescue Recovery
If a drive fails from a drop, spill or normal wear, Seagate's in-house labs attempt data recovery. Included with FireCuda, IronWolf and select external drives at no extra cost.
