1204cture that helps them preserve, access and use more of that data over time. Sustainable Scaling is about making those infrastructure decisions more efficient, more durable and more connected to long-term data value.â</p><div data-element-guid="e7fa4fad-99df-4589-9b4d-098a4cfdb1f3" class="column google-ad widthFull" style=""> 1205 1206 <span class="ad-label">BANDF AD</span> 1207 <div class="adunit" id="labrador/bandf/article/desktop/b" ></div> 1208

1212 1213</div> 1214<p>Sustainable Scaling? Seagate says this is âincreasing AI capacity and business value while continuously improving the efficiency of the infrastructure that supports it. In practice, that means making infrastructure decisions to scale with rising AI data requirements while improving efficiency, sustainability and long-term data value.â<span> </span></p><p>Well, yes, but in practise really, the infrastructure decisions should include<span> </span>buying more disk storage.</p><p>Seagateâs commissioned report says: âOrganizations must plan for both more data and more value embedded in that data. A short-term approach focused only on immediate capacity can leave information fragmented, inaccessible or expensive to reuse. A longer-ranging view can connect retention, access and governance decisions to the future value the organization expects AI to create.â</p><div data-element-guid="7329452a-ca66-4736-f1d3-d8d7b6a03c57" class="column google-ad floatRight widthAuto" style=""> 1215 1216 <span class="ad-label">BANDF AD</span> 1217 <div class="adunit" id="labrador/bandf/article/desktop/c" ></div> 1218

This creates a more practical framework for scaling AI while controlling infrastructure costs and resource demands.â</p><p>The âsingle architectureâ term means SSDs. The report implies SSDs canât do it all so buy disk drives to improve efficiency, sustainability and long-term data value.You should be able to access the report from this Seagate <a href="https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/resources/data-infrastructure-readiness-report-2026/" target="_blank">web page</a>.</p><h5>Comment</h5><p>With SSDs now costing <a href="https://www.blocksandfiles.com/flash/2026/08/11/ssd-prices-still-rocketing-up-faster-than-disk/5286189" target="_blank">6.5 times</a> more per terabyte of capacity than disk drives Seagate is knocking at a fairly open door.
