The Exos EP2U12 is genuinely different from both SCALE and FUSE it's an intelligent RAID storage array, not a passive JBOD expansion enclosure or a compute-integrated server. Dual redundant controllers handle RAID processing, data protection and management directly on the array itself, presenting fully protected, ready-to-use storage volumes rather than raw drive capacity requiring an […]
The Exos AP5U84 is the flagship of the FUSE family, the same 84-bay, 5U chassis behind our EX5U84 SCALE enclosure, but with dual x86 compute nodes built in rather than relying entirely on an external host server.
The Exos AP2U12 sits alongside the AP2U24 in the FUSE family an integrated storage server with dual x86 compute nodes built into the same chassis as the storage itself, rather than a passive JBOD requiring a separate host.
The Exos AP2U24 is fundamentally different from the SCALE family of JBOD expansion enclosures it's a genuine storage server, with dual x86 compute nodes built directly into the chassis alongside 24 bays of 2.5" storage.
The Exos EX4U74 is one of Seagate's newest additions to the SCALE family, built on SAS-4 architecture rather than the SAS-3 platform behind the EX2U12, EX2U24 and EX5U84. It's designed specifically for standard-depth edge racks where the closely related DC4U100 pushes for maximum density in a full-depth data centre chassis, the EX4U74 is built to […]
The Exos EX5U84 is the high-density flagship of the SCALE family, packing 84 individual 3.5" drive bays into a single 5U enclosure. Like the EX2U12 and EX2U24, it's a pure SAS-attached JBOD expansion unit rather than a self-contained RAID array — it connects directly to a host server or existing storage controller, adding raw drive […]
The Exos EX2U24 sits alongside the EX2U12 in Seagate's SCALE family, offering the same pure SAS-attached expansion architecture but with 24 compact 2.5" drive bays instead of 12 large-format 3.5" bays doubling drive density in the same 2U rack space.
The Exos EX2U12 is the entry point into Seagate's SCALE family a pure SAS-attached expansion enclosure (JBOD) rather than a self-contained RAID array, designed to be connected to a host server equipped with a SAS host bus adapter.
Modern enterprises face unprecedented data growth and performance demands from AI, analytics, databases, and virtualised environments. All-Flash Storage leveraging NVMe technology has emerged as the definitive solution, delivering microsecond latency, millions of IOPS, and exceptional throughput by utilising the PCIe bus protocol designed specifically for flash memory.
In the world of cloud computing and data infrastructure, choosing the right storage solution is a critical decision that impacts performance, cost, and scalability. The two primary contenders are object storage and block storage. While they both provide persistent data storage, they are fundamentally different technologies designed for distinct purposes.
