Seagate just rolled out 30TB Exos M and IronWolf Pro drives using their Mozaic 3+ platform and HAMR tech. These are real, shipping now, and aimed at massive local storage for AI, NAS, and edge workloads.
The Exos version targets data centers and hyperscale setups, while IronWolf Pro is for NAS users like many of us here. Both drives are 7200 RPM, CMR, and supposedly the densest HDDs available right now.
Pricing isn’t budget-tier, but it’s not totally outrageous for the capacity:
• 30TB: $599.99
• 28TB: $569.99
I wrote up a full breakdown here if anyone wants details, quotes, and links:

Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who’s used Seagate’s Mozaic-based HAMR drives. Are they solid for long-term hoarding?
