Seagate demonstrated a proof-of-concept system running NVMe HDDs, NVMe SSDs, Nvidia 's BlueField 3 DPU, and AIStore software to show how NVMe transforms hard drives for AI workloads.

Seagate says that the system can scale to exabyte levels when using NVMe-over-Fabric (NVMe-oF) Integration enables seamless expansion of multi-rack AI storage clusters.

As HDDs gain capacity, their IOPS-per-TB performance performance drops.

This may affect performance when working in AI clusters going forward.

To that end, dual-actuator HDDs, such as Seagate 's Mach.2, will be preferable for AI clusters.

Large companies prefer to have dual source supply for products like HDDs.
