HDD capacity to hit 15TB by 2016 - with HAMR technology

But will it improve the reliability? Think about RAID rebuild times. It would take over a week, maybe even 2.

 

Dang! And I was just about to buy me a 8TB Hard Drive.....

 

Hilbert Hagedoorn ;-) but you can't touch this ... yet :banana:

 

Haha, I think you've got to be a certain age to get that reference! I have a guilty secret that this was probably my second CD I ever bought, and probably an even guiltier secret with Vanilla Ice being the 1st - and yes I did the dance routines, but didn't go as far as the baggy trousers! Ah, good times - style! ;-)

 

Think about the price of this thing

 

Imagine a 16TB SSD for only $75K...

 

Pretty nice but I still believe the next step will be replacing hdds with ssds completely. Although that will take a lot of time. 15tb on a single hdd is insane though.

 

Im 1968-1974 and then 1978 Was my first TV console Pong on Odyssey 2100 ;-)

Then Atari 800XL->Commodore->AMIGA500->A1200 HDD-> Intel 486-> AMD K
And so ON ;-) :supercool

They think <-> we Make c1:

 

I remember the days when a 20Mb HD was £4000. Remember the ads in Amiga Shopper magazine!

 

I remember hearing that an 80mb drive being over $1000 bucks in the 1980s which would have been used for some kind of server.

Did it look like this one?

 

WOW, thats insane.

 

Heard about years back nice to see it finally coming maybe? would be nice if it has less bottleneck then the current HDD speed wise to

 

What about them 5mb drives http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/27/visualized-ibms-1956-hdd-packs-5mb-of-storage-requires-forkli/


that where just bad and heavy too

 

I read all about these a while back.. seems like a pretty cool new technology that could push density up very high on a single drive. Cool cool

 

So Much Porn.

 

qft..

 

I would be more interested in a 60,000rpm ssd-like hdd with a decent 2-3TB
