Seagate going for 14TB and 16TB HDDs
Seagate is going to be pushing the envelope and will develop up-to 16 Terabyte HDDS. They want to do so within the next year and a half. They also aim to release a bit higher, a 20TB HDD is to be launched by 2020.
The news reached the media through a conference call with stock-holders. Seagate CEO Stephen Luczo said that 12TB HDDs based on helium technology are currently being tested, but that even more capacious solutions are not that far off. Currently the company already has 12 TB HDDs ready. WD also has similar plans with 12 and 14TB models. Obviously such high capacity HDDs are intended for the Enterprise market, data-centers and NAS (network-attached storage), where large capacity HDDs are proving popular among consumers. Seagate has also announced it will release 10TB HDD at a price of 400 USD.
SSDs are ruling the bigger chunk of the storage market, but larger than 1TB is still the HDD domain.

Question is, can you trust Seagate with that much data on one drive?

Use RAID 10 and keep your fingers crossed that once you will have to rebuild it won't fail..

There are no HDD manufacturers whose disks avoided troubles. With that sizes these HDDs aimed for professional/enterprise niches, imo. And usually these niches receive big warranty periods and also are equipped with backup solutions.

No, which is why you don't just buy one, you buy several of them, which is good for Seagates business

I suspect if porn will go to 3D then 16TB will not be enough.

Back in our time every new top HDD was replacing the old in a model row with same price tag. Since 3TB every new HDD cost more more and more. I guess Seagate and WD are intentionally killing HDD market off.

I 'member posting I wouldn't trust 4TB on a seagate drive and now I find myself in a similar thread for an enormous 14TB drive. Damn.

i was clearly Anti-Seagate but since we use them at work, i have changed my mind...
exept the noise "Dzzziiiiii" (moment of stress for me ) that they do sometime they are really reliable since years (and less expensive than WD... but WD is WD )

HDD marked needs a dual motor (internal RAID) drive, not just for storage, if no for speed, clearly they can´t compete but if they offers capacity, speed and price, they could survive a bit more...
