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...

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...
Well you'd be a fool for only having one of these drives if you actually use that much disk space, and, if you don't want to risk losing anything. The average consumer can't afford 20TB of SSD storage, so, there's not much you can do to avoid the time consumption.

You can choose wisely is what I was trying to say.

I get what you're tying to say but what is the wiser choice in this situation? Remember, these are consumer HDDs; they're not server drives. If you need 20TB of storage and don't have deep pockets, what do you do? Getting more+smaller HDDs is only increasing the chances of a failure and is still going to take a long time to recover from (especially if you're doing RAID, where you'll then have to rebuild the array).

Smaller drives with a proven track record are a lesser risk.
There are a number of new technologies in these drives and Seagates record hasnt been the best either.
I have a number of HGST enterprise drives and would like to use less.
But that time isnt here yet.
