Seagate’s storage systems offer “auto-tiering” features that enable the combination of multiple types of storage into a single volume. Using this method, a small group of flash drives can transparently accelerate the performance of a large group of hard drives, combining flash’s performance-enhancing speed with hard drives’ outstanding capacity and affordability.
For small flash tiers, SSDs and hard drives can be mixed and matched in any chassis. For larger flash tiers, a dedicated allflash array like the Nytro X 2U24 can be employed.
