"Across the globe, we are experiencing a massive increase in the volume of data created, with a recent study by IDC and Seagate finding that data creation will swell to a total of 163 zettabytes (ZB) by 2025, 10x more than today. Seagate's latest portfolio of 12TB drives are designed for today's media storage needs - including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), 4K resolution and 360-degree videos - and offer scalability for the future with increased space and speed," the company said in a media statement.

Likewise, Matt Rutledge, Senior Vice President of Business Marketing at Seagate Technology, also stated, "Our storage hungry customers and partners continue to ask for our latest and greatest technology along with increased capacity and performance in our purpose built products." "With the 12TB Pro products, Seagate buyers are overcoming capacity constraints in their systems and can access vast amounts of digital data anytime, from anywhere."

12TB BarraCuda Pro Desktop Drive

Seagate's 12TB BarraCuda Pro HDD is one of the highest-capacity and most reliable hard drive for desktop computing available in the market today. With 12TB of capacity - double the space of its closest competitor - the BarraCuda Pro will now be meeting any number of demanding data management needs from creative editing workflows to gaming to desktop computing. The drive's high speed means that data-intensive activities like large file transfers and photo-editing are faster when using BarraCuda Pro.

Designed to operate on enabled Synology DiskStation NAS, Asustor NAS, and QNAP NAS, populated with Seagate IronWolf or IronWolf Pro drives, IHM improves the overall system reliability by displaying actionable prevention, intervention or recovery options for the user and will be available within the next quarter with NAS partners.

"We are excited with Seagate's launch of the industry's largest capacity NAS drive - the 12TB IronWolf and IronWolf Pro," said Meiji Chang, General Manager of QNAP, adding, "QNAP has collaborated with Seagate for many years on product and technology enhancements, working with them to create the best hard drives for NAS users.
