Seagate preps 5TB and 6TB Enterprise-Class Hard Disk Drives
Seagate Technology, one of the world’s largest hard disk drives makers, plans to add high-capacity models into its Terascale hard drive family in the first half of 2014. The new models will expand storage capacity of enterprise-class capacity-oriented hard disk drives to 5TB and 6TB. It is likely that such HDDs will be based on new-generation platters.
According to Seagate enterprise hard drives roadmap published by Myce web-site, the new enterprise-class Terascale HDDs with 5TB and 6TB capacities due in the first half of 2014 will belong to the same code-named Constellation ES.3 “Megalodon” family as the current 4TB drives. The drives are likely to feature 5900rpm spindle speed, 64MB DDR2 cache as well as Serial ATA-600 interface. What is unclear is which platters will be featured in the 5TB and 6TB HDDs, reports xbitlabs.
The Terascale hard disk drives are based on enterprise-class platform with high vibration tolerance (HVT) technology and provide data centers with the maximum storage scalability they need to meet demands in low workload, 24x7 replicated environments. Equipped with Seagate’s own Instant Secure Erase (ISE) technology, the Terascale HDD saves money and time by reducing drive erasure times from hours to milliseconds providing quick, safe and easy drive disposal or repurposing.
Separately, Seagate prepares to put its Cheetah 15K.7, Savvio 10K.5 and some other hard drives into LTS status, which essentially means that it will supply such drives until there is demand, but will not introduce any new models. The code-named Valkyrie enterprise-performance drives will likely be enterprise-grade solid-state hard drives and will not be pure SSDs.

Nice, just when my porn collection was running out of space. I will get 2, one for backup.

Got the Seagate 4TB HDD some time ago and yeah, even at 5900rpm the 4TB drive reaches nice speeds for a conventional drive.

Well I have left 1TB, maybe even 1,3-1,5TB if I do some cleaning out of my 9.5TB.
I was thinking of getting another 4TB for some time but tbh I was waiting for larger ones like 5TB. But 6TB? Sweet!
I think I can wait a bit longer and see when mainstream 5-6TB HDD's will become available.

I'm kinda surprised you went with 4TB actually vs a couple of smaller drives. Are you running out of SATA ports? lol
I'll prob go for 1TB or 2TB next but can't decide between WD or Seagate tho.... In the past I always stick with Seagate but the 1yr warranty puts me off a bit.

Hmmm OK, looked at some benchies and it is quite a bit slower than the 7200 models, but a 4TB drive is built for storage capacity and not performance anyway......

Not saying it's the best, but it does perform better then a regular 5900 rpm disk. Write speeds (when I write a file of a few GB to the disk) are about 120 to 130'ish MB/sec.
Using an external casing for the HDD with eSata to stash my backups on it (got 2 like these, the other one is 1.5TB, will eventually be upgraded to 4TB or more as well). When I have more cash to spare I'll probably get a proper NAS.
Right now this is my el cheapo backup solution

Good thing I didn't buy two 4TB drives then. I decided to get just one and buy another later this year or early next. Picking up a 5 or 6TB drive instead would be great.

Was thinking the same thing "By the time I'll need the 2nd one hopefully they'll have even bigger disks..."
Guess we were right :p

A 6tb HDD would be a nice storage unit, of course on the other hand it would probably also drastically increase the chances of it being the first HDD that breaks for me.
(I forgot exactly what it was called, if it can go wrong it will go wrong, something like that.)
Moore's law - if it can go wrong it will go wrong
I can't tell if this would be better or worse. Where I work we just test backup servers and things like that. I think if we had a 6TB hard drive go the server guy might blow an O ring.

Got the Seagate 4TB HDD some time ago and yeah, even at 5900rpm the 4TB drive reaches nice speeds for a conventional drive.
The internal 4TB Segate is the ST4000DM000, I guess they stopped giving them names. Anyway, that model supposedly is almost as fast as the far more expensive 7200RPM 4TB WD Caviar Black. I have the same one, if it dies... man I'll lose a lot of data. If it weren't for the flooding/artificial prices I would have bought two and used RAID 1.

Murphy's law. Moore's is that the transistor count on an IC doubles every 2 years. But considering we're talking about technology it's easy to get the two mixed up.
