Seagate Exos CORVAULT 5U84 Block Storage System

The Seagate Exos CORVAULT 5U84 is a self-healing, high-density block storage system engineered for petabyte-scale enterprise and hyperscale data center environments. Built around a 5U 84-bay chassis, the system integrates Seagate's Autonomous Drive Regeneration (ADR) technology, which enables failed drives to be rebuilt in place without manual intervention, dramatically reducing mean time to recovery and minimizing the operational burden on data center staff. The dual-controller architecture delivers redundant data paths and supports SAS host connectivity, providing the fault tolerance and consistent throughput demanded by always-on enterprise workloads.

The CORVAULT 5U84 is optimized for massive sequential and large-block workloads, making it a natural fit for active archive, surveillance storage, media repositories, and big data analytics pipelines. Its high drive density—accommodating up to 84 large-form-factor 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives in a single 5U enclosure—enables organizations to consolidate capacity footprint and reduce power consumption per terabyte compared to lower-density alternatives. The system supports online capacity expansion and is designed to integrate into tiered storage architectures as a cost-efficient primary or nearline tier.

Managed through Seagate's CORVAULT management software and compatible with standard SAS storage ecosystems, the 5U84 provides SNMP-based monitoring, proactive alerting, and comprehensive drive health telemetry. The enclosure's hot-swap design extends to drives, fan modules, and power supply units, ensuring continuous availability during routine maintenance. With its combination of autonomous self-healing, extreme density, and enterprise-grade resiliency, the Exos CORVAULT 5U84 addresses the scale-out storage demands of modern data-intensive organizations.

Ideal for

• Petabyte-scale active archive and cold storage consolidation in enterprise data centers requiring maximum capacity density per rack unit
• Large-scale video surveillance storage repositories ingesting continuous high-bitrate streams from hundreds or thousands of camera feeds
• Media and entertainment asset storage for raw, mezzanine, and finished content libraries requiring high sustained sequential throughput
• Big data and analytics platforms serving as a high-capacity nearline tier feeding compute clusters with large dataset reads and writes
• Hyperscale and cloud service provider object or block storage back-ends where autonomous drive recovery reduces operational overhead at scale
• Healthcare imaging archives and life sciences genomic data repositories demanding long-term data integrity and high-density on-premises storage
