Seagate has been working toward developing a dual-actuator hard drive, meaning that the drive will contain two sets of independently controlled read\/write heads. Now, after several years, the company has released its first functional dual-actuator hard drive, the Mach.2. Currently, only enterprises can purchase and use this product, meaning that at least for now, end users will have to wait their turn.<\/p>\n

So far, Seagate has reported the Mach.2’s sequential, sustained transfer rate as up to 524MBps\u2014over double the rate of a fast but generic rust disk, closer to the capacity seen in SATA SSD. In fact, this increased transfer rate carries over into input\/output as well, featuring 304 IOPS read \/ 384 IOPS write and only 4.16 ms average latency. By contrast, normal hard drives usually run at 100\/150 IOPS with about the same average latency.<\/p>\n

Of course, all of that extra capacity requires additional power. Even while idle, the Mach.2 runs at 7.2 W, while Seagate’s standard Ironwolf line runs at 5 W while idle. That said, it is a bit easier to measure the power specs of Mach.2 than Ironwolf, as the former’s power use can be determined using several random input\/output scenarios, as opposed to Ironwolf, whose power is gauged from its “average operating power,” a metric undefined by the Seagate data sheet reference.<\/p>\n
