HGST ready to launch first helium-filled 10TB HDDs

[Metaformed]

The company HGST announced they will be releasing 10TB helium filled hard drives. They are due for release next month but no price was mentioned. 

 

Some specifications of the drive:

 

- 128 MB of cache

- two million hour meantime between failure (MTBF) rating

- Instant Secure Erase features

- five-year warranty

 

The hard drive will "use shingled magnetic recording (SMR) technology to offer even platters with 1.43TB of storage capacity on each of them"

 

I personally think that while this is a huge thing for hard drives to be helium filled and be well, 10tb, It is not to appealing as It will most likely not be a consumer grade product and will most likely end up costing a huge amount of money. 

 

HGST did also say something about releasing other 10tb drives, maybe on that is a bit more appealing to a average consumer if it isnt helium filled, But since right now a 8tb seagate drive cost around $350 I can only predict that a 10tb one will be in the $400-500 range with the helium ones costing even more.

2 million hrs MTBF? where do they get these numbers? can someone enlighten me. 

[RevoltTrain]

Don't let Barnacules know

[Epitome]

need. 

totally agree

Probably just a guess after doing simulated testing or some shit.

you don't need 10tb HDDs unless you are running a nasa supercomputer, these are unecessary for eveyone

 

Or unless you have a shitload of porn.

Your needs don't constitute everyones needs. I mean recording RAW data nightmare. 

[Suika]

trust me i have a 500gb hdd and i have like 50 raw minecraft videos recorded

I have 50 raw TF2 videos, and my 1TB is almost completely filled.

Your needs are not the needs of everybody else.

[werto165]

trust me i have a 500gb hdd and i have like 50 raw minecraft videos recorded

I was more talking about raw 4k footage from camera, which can easily be 100MB/s

I need. Media collection, archiving files, computation results, program profiling statistics, mail server user files, cloud storage.

[Suika]

tf2 is less detailed than minecraft, i don't see how that could happen

4K videos.

[Hatsune Miku 「 」]

that is a technology myth, so sad that you've falled into this trap of lies

huh? What lies?

[Toddwjp]

hes trolling

[dalekphalm]

As @werto165 says: Your needs do not mean anything to anyone except you. Some of us have more storage needs then you.

[Norman_the_Owl]

that is a technology myth, so sad that you've falled into this trap of lies

"I use a lot of storage"

"That's a myth"

u wot m9

[Hatsune Miku 「 」]

i'm not, im just trying to educate the forum

*looks at profile - 11years old.

 

I am at work right now.

Are you kidding me?

 

2 of these disks would give me a complete mirror of my data, and i wouldn't need another 8 hard drives to access it all.

If these ever come to market I'll be buying at least 2

[Hatsune Miku 「 」]

you must hate children. shame on you.

No. I hate humans. People do need 10TB, JUST NOT YOU.

 

You need to grow up and realise that you are ignorant.

[Hatsune Miku 「 」]

if you "hate humans" then why are you on this forum

Ignorant. you don't understand anything.

[Hatsune Miku 「 」]

wow that like spam.

[MrBucket101]

you need to use Recycle Bin more often

and you need to step out from under the bridge

[swifty7]

if only these 10tb hdd's were affordable enough.  I would have bought 4 for a total of 40tb or  36tb of actual storage
