Seagate Hints at Launch of First HAMR Technology Hard Drive

Published

on

After years of anticipation, Seagate is poised to release its first hard drive utilizing heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology. According to Tom’s Hardware, a new sales page on the Seagate website reveals the upcoming Exos M 30TM and 32TB hard disk drive (HDD), which features 3TB per platter and boasts three times the power efficiency per terabyte compared to current hard drives.

The Exos M series is powered by Seagate’s cutting-edge Mozaic 3+ platform, marking the debut of HAMR technology in Seagate’s HDD lineup. HAMR works by applying localized heat to the disk material during the writing process, enabling the creation of smaller regions and thus increasing the storage capacity per platter. These advancements are significant steps towards the potential development of a 50TB HDD in the future.

Although Seagate has not yet announced an official release date for the Exos M, the news has generated considerable excitement within the tech community. A video from the Upscaled series offers an in-depth explanation of the HAMR technology and its transformative impact on the future of HDD storage.

Stay tuned for further updates as Seagate moves closer to introducing this groundbreaking technology to the market.

This launch is part of Acer’s expansion of its sustainable technology lineup that caters to smart, eco-friendly lifestyles, and brings new levels of fun and mobility to more diverse user groups.

Predator ES Storm Foldable eScooter
The Predator ES Storm is a foldable e-scooter with a unique gamer-inspired design built for performance. Featuring a cutting-edge design, blistering speeds, reliable braking power and shock-absorbing suspension, it comes with a bright display that is paired with the Acer eMobility app. The app allows riders to control the speed, cruise control, gear switching, lateral illumination and headlight settings.

The Predator ES Storm is powered by a 500W hub motor, that helps to easily conquer hills and flat roads, with the motor capable of reaching a peak of over 900W. Meanwhile, the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) recharges the scooter by converting braking energy into usable power, making it more energy-efficient and extending its battery life, while also reducing the wear and tear of the mechanical brakes.

The powerful 42V/16 Ah Li-Ion battery guarantees travel distances of up to 60 km on a single charge. Riders will experience unmatched stability and control, thanks to the 10-inch tubeless tyres and the front fork suspension that acts as a shock absorber. The Predator ES Storm scooters come with signal lights on the handlebar, a front disc and a rear E-ABS electric brake, for enhanced safety, and weighs just 20.45 kg.

Acer ES Series 5 Select eScooter
With a powerful 500W engine, high-capacity battery, foldable design, responsive braking, and shock-absorbing system, riders of the new Acer Series 5 Select eScooters can cruise the city streets effortlessly and in comfort, using four throttle modes with cruise control. The motor delivers 29 Nm of powerful torque and smooth acceleration, hitting speeds up to 25 km per hour (subject to local regulations). For those who crave more excitement, the Sports Mode feature delivers maximum power and responsiveness, with a climbing ability of up to 23 degrees.

Safety features include high-visibility lights, and equipped with 10-inch tubeless tires for a smooth stable ride over various terrains.

With its minimalistic design, power and easy mobility, the Acer ES Series 4 is a sleek foldable eScooter designed with multiple speed options, a responsive double brake system, shock-absorbing suspension, and a bright, easy-to-read display.

Powered by a 400W rear motor and with multiple speed settings, the eScooter is designed to tackle various terrains, whether smooth streets or steep hills. It can even reach a peak output of over 800W, providing extra power when needed for more challenging inclines or tougher conditions. Riders can choose between speeds of 6 km/h, a steady 10 km/h commute, or a faster 20 or 25 km/h (subject to local regulations). The Sport Mode Booster offers extra power for tackling steeper hills, while the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) recovers energy while braking and coasting, converting it into usable power to enhance travel distance.

Weighing under 20 kg, this foldable scooter can bear a weight load of 120 kg, charges in just five hours and can cover distances of up to 45 km in a single charge. The front disc brake and rear electric brake (E-ABS) improve safety with shorter stopping distances. The 10-inch tubeless tires provide excellent stability and comfort, whilst the front fork suspension acts as a shock absorber, reducing the impact from bumps and uneven terrain for a smoother, more reliable journey.
