Today, at the NAB 2023 conference, Seagate unveiled a new addition to its lineup of high-capacity hard drives aimed at commercial and enterprise customers. The new IronWolf Pro is a conventional magnetic recording hard disk drive with a 22TB capacity.
The IronWolf Pro 22TB is a standard 3.5-inch drive with a SATA3 (6Gbps) connector. It features ten plates and twenty heads operating at 7200 revolutions per minute (RPM). Seagate claims its newest high-capacity drive provides exceptional network and direct-attached storage performance with a yearly workload rate of 550 terabytes. Also, the disk ensures long-term reliability in multi-bay systems thanks to built-in rotational vibration sensors.
