Symply Supercharges SPARK Shuttle RAID with Seagate Mozaic HAMR Drives — Now Up to 240 TB
Cambridge, UK, 6th August 2025 — Symply, a leading innovator in professional media storage, today announced a major capacity boost for its acclaimed SPARK Thunderbolt Shuttle RAID systems. Now featuring Seagate’s Mozaic hard drives with cutting-edge HAMR (Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording) technology, SPARK delivers up to 120TB in a 4-bay and 240TB in an 8-bay configuration—unleashing new performance and storage density for demanding media workflows.
Seagate’s HAMR-based Mozaic technology enables dramatically higher areal density by briefly heating the disk surface with a precisely focused laser during write operations. This momentarily lowers magnetic resistance, allowing data to be written at much higher densities, then cools instantly to lock the data securely in place. The result: vastly increased capacity with no compromise to long-term reliability or data integrity.
“SPARK has already earned its place as a go-to solution for creative professionals thanks to its portability, rugged build, and dependable Thunderbolt performance,” said Keith Warburton, CEO of Symply. “With this upgrade, SPARK becomes one of the first shuttle RAID solutions to harness the power of Mozaic HAMR drives—bringing enterprise-grade capacity to a portable form factor.”
Built for today’s highest-resolution workflows—from 4K to 8K and beyond—SPARK Shuttle RAID with Seagate Mozaic drives provides the speed, reliability, and endurance media professionals need. Whether copying terabytes of rushes on set, editing multi-stream high-resolution content, or managing vast post-production archives, SPARK keeps creative teams fast and focused.
Engineered with modularity and longevity in mind, SPARK features user-serviceable drives, fans, and power supplies. Its robust all-metal enclosure, integrated carry handle, and quiet operation make it ideal for use across studios, production sets, and remote locations alike.
