HGST Introduces First 10 TB HDD - Density Reaches New Heights

There was a 10TB with SMR, which normal people cannot use, before this one. 
 
This 10TB uses PMR, which is plug and play with everything, and even though it has helium it looks to be cheap! I can't wait to get one!
 
 

 

HGST is the first HDD manufacturer to produce a 10 TB HDD. The nearline Ultrastar He10 employs standard PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording) in tandem with HGST's HelioSeal platform, which replaces the air typically found inside of an HDD with helium. The stable internal environment allows HGST to pack up to seven patters in each HDD, with more planned for the future, while simultaneously reducing power consumption and heat generation. These refinements allow the Ultrastar He10 to consume 43 percent less power than competing 8 TB air-based HDDs and offer 25 percent more capacity.

Actually since these are helium they are MUCH more reliable than any air drive. They have an MTBF of 2.5 million hours, which is way more than normal air drives at 1 million hours.

how can it have 2.5million hours if there is only 24 hrs in a day?

2.5 million hours over it's life span.

to me since they put the platters closer together in the helium drives you have to be twice as careful not to shake them around too much?

idk just a thought. Not like its a laptop drive but shipping is always and forever will be a concern for hard drives.

What does the helium provide over air? Is it for corrosion or something else?

less resistance and its a sealed unit so you dont have to worry about air pressure

Less air resistance means the platters don't warp as much when spinning, and the heads can hover closer to the platters, meaning more can be fit, at higher rotation speeds too.

2.5" is not standard form factor?

its just as standard as 3.5" these days...

So then would a vacuum be the epitome of HDD tech?

No, because then the hovering arms can't float above warping platters. The whole key to current HDDs is masterful use of the air currents generated by the spinning platters.

Nice to see. Though 10TB HDD would be a max that I would consider buying later on. There was shown in time there will be 100TB and beyond I'm sure, now that I can't see for consumer since speeds will stay the same and for such large capacity it would be pain. Specially imagine losing all that data.
SSDs are coming down in prices more and more and getting higher capacities, eventually it will completely replace HDDs in consumer place no doubt.
Maybe like 1PB HDD for some cold storage, servers, datacenters but I can't see anything like that for consumers as for reasons above and specially SSDs being priced like HDDs in time.

Did you even bother to do this math before posting?

2.5 million hours for a DISK DRIVE before it fails? 

That's 285 YEARS.

lol have you like recently joined LTT or something?

this has been known for months

 

this is just one source, there are other companies making 10TB ssds too

Allows for less space between each disk.
