with HAMR technology and dual actuator hard drives

What is the Lyve Drive Mobile System?

The Lyve Drive Mobile System It consists of a set of products aimed at companies and businesses that need to collect large amounts of data on one site and move them to another site where the data is centralized. For example, think of a company that records video anywhere in the world and then has to take it to the office to process it. Similarly, it applies to companies that, for example, collect sensor data in cars to process them later and generate models of machine learning.

This ecosystem includes high-performance CFExpress cards, connector Thunderbolt 3 for them, card readers, cartridges with U.2 interface, mobile housings with matrices for 6 and 4 hard drives, a shuttle capable of functioning as DAS or even NAS, and even a 4U rack receiver.

During the demonstration, Seagate used a 108 TB mobile array consisting of six hard drives HAMR Exos of 18 TB, as well as another modular matrix of 56 TB composed of four Exos 2 × 14 hard drives of 14 TB each. These 2 × 14 Exos hard drives use the MACH.2 multi-actuator technology, which provides twice as many IOPS as single actuator hard drives and a sequential write speed of 480 Mbps.

HARM and the double actuators, closer to the consumer

So far, this is the first time that Seagate has made a public demonstration of the operation of its hard drives with double actuator, even though they said in the past that they had been producing them for several months (at least those with MATCH technology.2 which they have shown). It is true that this Lyve system is oriented to companies, but because as we have seen, it is a system to take data collected out to a central system, but the fact is that it uses the "common" hard drives that later also, to good Sure, it will sell separately.
