Translated (sorry may not be perfect translation my english is not 100%)

 


Seagate is already providing selected customers with these drives, said CEO Steve Luczo. 10TB discs should come in next 12 months. Parameters and used technology company did not revealed. Right now these high capacity discs are used for cloud storage and other aplications which require high capacity. When company make these discs available for us consumers is not known.

 

Company is also announcing that they will use new technology for discs in 2016 called HAMR (Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording). Seagate confirmed that on 8TB drives they are using their newest SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) technology.

 

I am all for high capacity. I dont think this is needed for average PC user though. I cant imagine how they can make these discs very reliable when we consider how much dense are those data stored. But if they can provide customers with high capacity enterprise products like these then there must be some really awesome technology used.

Anyway, as long as Seagate can push capacity higher then I hope that we can expect lower prices on 1 to 4 TB drives. That would be awesome.

I Can fill up the 10tb drive with a lot off por...10tb is a lot of space.

 

Think of all the Raid-Systems, stuffed with educational films!

I could totally use an 10tb drive EASY. I rip all my videos/music in the highest quality. Hell, a single bluray is like 20 gigs.

Currently I have 4 HDDS and two SSds stuffed into my HTPC.

Am I the only one concerned with holding so much data on one disc, I would much rather 5x 2Tb drives than one 10Tb for home use and how long would it take the average array to rebuild a 10Tb drive should it fail?

SMR tech is actually more reliable than normal hard drive tech

7 platters? 8? Or even 9? The failure rate will probably go through the roof, even if they fill them with helium. I don't know about this, maybe some servers that are restricted to very low space and still need tons of capacity, but otherwise I see no use for them right now. They need to find a balance between capacity and reliability with these.....

Oh, not bad. Now it has suddenly become interesting. If they manage to cram 8TB or 10TB on a single platter then this could be very nice of course. It just reminded me of their helium filled 7 platter enterprise drives at first, it's good to see that they're moving away from that.

read this a while back on a leaked slide, as in every case, reliability is the issue..

Details separate people.

Is your music FLAC? or MP3 320kbps?

They need to bring 5.25" HDDs back. A 25TB HDD should be doable.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

For everyone complaining about reliability: It's not going to be an issue.

  1. They most likely won't be adding platters, but rather increasing the density of existing platters using their new HAMR tech. There isn't enough space in a 3.5 inch drive to get these capacities with current platters.
  2. They won't release a new hard drive model with significantly worse failure rates than they currently have. Plain and simple. It wouldn't make sense from a business perspective.

I'll be excited for the storage show-off thread once these kinds of drives begin to show up.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use, and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them. - Galileo Galilei

Nah, that wouldnt be efficient.

The plates in the HDD are circular, the hdd itself is a rectangle and the circle has to fit in it. The bigger you make the rectangle, the bigger the circles would be, but then the useless corners get also bigger.

I dont understand why people need so much storage, even 1tb of bangin' when are you watching all of it or rewatching?

I am in the market for 4x 4tb drives... maybe I could get 4x10tb drives instead.

 

although I bet it will cost LOADS
