Seagate 20TB HDDs also for consumers
Seagate alluded to a 20TB consumer hard drive during a recent earnings call transcript, Tom's Hardware noticed. The storage manufacturer is working on heat-assisted magnetic recording.
The new 20TB HDD would be made available to the entire public. Strong-capacity HDDs are in high demand, says CEO David Mosley. For a consumer PC or NAS, the linked hamr drives are ideal. The new pmr hard drives use perpendicular magnetic recording (pmr) and two-dimensional magnetic storage (DMS) (tdmr). For the latter, an unique read head that reads data from the disk quietly allows for better data density. Finally, the same brand's innovative Mach.2 technology is in high demand for high-capacity HDDs. Mosley claims that double-acting hard drives are soon becoming popular. He believes the technology will gain popularity as drives larger than 30 terabytes hit the market. Previously, it was estimated that the hamr discs would be widely released in 2023.
Seagate is working on 30TB HDDs, 50 TB in 5 years and 100 TB by 2030 - 09/23/2021 12:34 PM
According to Seagate, heat-assisted magnetic recording hard disk drives (HAMR) are already in the works, a small number of consumers have been able to obtain the 20TB HAMR drives already, and a 30TB v...

Personally I don't believe going with SSD is the way to be protected. I had SSD that failed for me (Samsung 840 series) while never having drive fail on me (using only WD HDDs for over 20 years).
That being said with such huge drives mirror raid (or some permutation like 1+0) is a must.

I remember going from a 5MB MFM HDD to a 20MB RLL HDD holding my breath! But all I wanted it to do was hold all # disks of Wing Commander to play in EGA. It was expensive but never failed me until I eventually got the IDE and 120MB HDD and VGA. Conner, I think it was.

Those were fun days, 50% more free space from the same drive!
But so many MFM drives used for RLL took their time then eventually corrupted. MFM drives could be used with RLL encoding, 'could'.
(all RLL drives were MFM based, supposedly better quality to cope with the new compression)
In those days we only had one set of recovery tools made by Norton and no recovery specialists, it was all so new.
If Norton didnt get your data back ...
Explanantion is for not so ancients techies

This would be great if we could trust their reliability.
20TB is a LOT to lose or recover, I can think of better ways to use my time/money.
I'll sit this out for some time...
