clever enough to make use of the rest of the drive capacities. This prolongs the lifecycle of the product.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS SELF HEALING
“The larger the drive, the longer it takes to rebuild the drive if it fails. A 20-terabyte drive typically takes from seven to 10 days to repair. If we’re building larger drives, the risk would be that repair times get longer too. “I’ll take the 20-terabyte drive as an example: you’ve got ten platters in it - that’s 20 surfaces top and bottom - that’s one terabyte per surface. “Now, imagine the head touches the surface, that surface goes bad, the drive gets wiped out. You’ve thrown 19 terabytes away because it’s damaged one terabyte worth of data.
“Instead of doing that, our new Seagate Autonomous Drive Regeneration technology can isolate and trim the platter, or the surface, as opposed to the whole drive, and attempt to reformat it. If that fails, the surface is already isolated, and the system is
“The planet’s resources are finite. Globally hundreds of millions of drives are shredded every year. Our new hard drive encryption enables instant secure erase. Just delete the encryption key and the data cannot be used and the drive can be safely recycled. Drives contain precious materials that are becoming more and more expensive, so there is an economic as well as environmental advantage to re-cycle these components. For example, over 1million metric tonnes of magnets have already been repurchased and recycled. “Seagate ship tens of millions of hard drives a year and each drive uses 61 different elements from the periodic table. The planet’s resources are finite and with the expectation of exponential demand for storage, this is clearly neither desirable nor sustainable. Not just from an environmental perspective but from a supply chain management standpoint. “On the one hand we’ve shored up the integrity of our supply chain to minimise waste and pollution, while on the other we launched Seagate Drive Reman – standing
for Remanufacturing - last year. The core principle is that we can refurbish, reuse and recover materials in our products from the components within older or failed drives. Far from being something that was a ‘nice to have’ because it promotes great sound bites for the media, the fact is it makes very good business sense.
“The simple truth is that the requirement for storage is only going to grow and in turn that has an environmental impact, but our business imperatives can and do align with our corporate responsibility to address this issue and we have taken meaningful steps from both a technology and CSR perspective to do so.”
At Seagate, we believe that a sustainable future is essential to the success of our business, the well-being of our communities, and the health of our
planet. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by minimizing our carbon footprint, conserving resources, and protecting natural ecosystems. Our goal is to be a responsible corporate citizen that actively contributes to a more sustainable world for all.
Last April Seagate committed to using 100% renewable energy by 2030 and achieving full carbon neutrality by 2040.
