Seagate Launches the FireCuda Forge, Powered by New Alkemi Intelligent Platform to Deliver Both SSD-Grade Responsiveness and HDD Capacity<\/b><\/p>\n

Alkemi\u2019s dynamic-caching technology prioritizes recent and frequently accessed data on a user-provided SSD while storing high-value, foundational content on a high-capacity hard drive.<\/i><\/p>\n

SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ: STX), a mass-capacity data storage leader, today introduced the Seagate\u00ae FireCuda\u2122 Forge drive, representing the first Seagate hard drive powered by the Alkemi\u2122 intelligent storage platform. With Alkemi, the FireCuda Forge combines solid-state drive (SSD) responsiveness and hard disk drive (HDD) capacity in a single drive, using adaptive intelligence to give gamers and creators the speed and space they need without added complexity.<\/p>\n

A new platform for a new reality<\/b><\/p>\n

From massive game libraries and 4K video to AI-powered animation, people are creating, working with, and keeping more data than ever. IDC projects annual global data generation will more than triple, from 218 zettabytes in2025 to more than 718 zettabytes by 2030.1<\/sup> As digital libraries expand, consumers need fast access to active content and the capacity to preserve growing collections.<\/p>\n

Engineered to improve with use, the Alkemi dynamic-caching technology learns how data is used in real-time and automatically prioritizes frequently accessed content from a user’s SSD, while ensuring the HDD provides capacity for larger libraries. The result brings intelligent data tiering from the data center to the desktop, dynamically caching data based on activity patterns, to deliver fast and easy access without users having to manage where their data lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years, external storage has forced users to choose: speed or scale. Forge is built on the idea that they shouldn\u2019t have to,\u201d said Lance Ohara, VP of Edge IoT Marketing at Seagate. \u201cPowered by our new Alkemi technology, it combines the responsiveness users want with the storage capacity they need in one intelligently managed system to give gamers and creators the best of both worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n

FireCuda Forge is the first product to deliver the Alkemi experience, combining a user’s NVMe SSD with the Forge’s high-capacity HDD to onboard processing in a single box. Seagate engineers designed the FireCuda Forge to provide fast, seamless access to the content people use most, while offering the capacity to keep more of what matters, whether gaming, streaming, creating or managing everyday digital life.<\/p>\n
