Seagate Kinetic Storage Platform is a new object-based hard disk drives from Seagate to be (maybe) an evolution of hard disk.

The idea was that the drives didn’t use traditional storage protocols like SAS and SATA, but instead stored objects written and retrieved over Ethernet in a much more scalable way.

Effectively, each drive is a large key-value store that manages its own content.

Each hard disk has 2 Ethernet ports and an ARM CPU with local memory.

Seagate has just build one model: Kinetic HDD 4TB (ST4000NK001)
