Seagate's new hybrid drive raises some old questions
摘要

希捷发布FireCuda Forge系列混合硬盘,将传统机械硬盘的大容量与用户自备固态硬盘的速度相结合,由Alkemi智能存储平台管理。产品提供8TB(699美元)和20TB(899美元)两种配置,均不含SSD,需用户自行加装符合要求的M.2 NVMe硬盘,最高支持1TB容量。希捷称组合系统读写速度可达2500MB/s和2000MB/s,支持USB4及Win

Seagate doesn't think hybrid drives are done just yet. On Tuesday, the company announced the launch of the new FireCuda Forge line of storage drives. The new drives combine the high capacity of a traditional plattered HDD with the speed and responsiveness of a user-supplied solid-state drive (SSD). The new hybrid storage solution is Seagate's first to be powered and managed by the new Alkemi intelligent storage platform.

The FireCuda Forge is available right now through Seagate's web store, and comes in 8TB ($699) or 20TB ($899) HDD configurations—neither of which includes the required SSD. Users will have to bring their own SSD, with some specific restrictions. The FireCuda Forge is compatible with M.2 2280 NVMe drives that are PCIe Gen3 or higher. The maximum supported NVMe capacity is 1TB, which means that's as much data as you'll be able to dedicate to storage on the "fast side" of the hybrid setup. The NVMe will require minimum speeds of 2,400MB/s read and 2,000MB/s write, and a unit with DRAM cache is recommended. Seagate claims 2,500MB/s read and 2,000MB/s write speeds for the combined system, along with USB4 and support for Windows 11 and macOS 26+.
