Seagate Ships 8 TB Hard Drives

Seagate Ships 8 TB Hard Drives

Dang ! Seagate today announced it is shipping the world's first 8 TB hard disk drive. An important step forward in storage, the 8 TB hard disk drive provides scale-out data infrastructures with supersized-capacity, energy-efficiency and the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) in the industry for cloud content, object storage and back-up disaster recovery storage.

"As our world becomes more mobile, the number of devices we use to create and consume data is driving an explosive growth in unstructured data. This places increased pressure on cloud builders to look for innovative ways to build cost-effective, high capacity storage for both private and cloud-based data centers," said Scott Horn, Seagate vice president of marketing. "Seagate is poised to address this challenge by offering the world's first 8 TB HDD, a ground-breaking new solution for meeting the increased capacities needed to support the demand for high capacity storage in a world bursting with digital creation, consumption and long-term storage."

A cornerstone for growing capacities in multiple applications, the 8 TB hard drive delivers bulk data storage solutions for online content storage providing customers with the highest capacity density needed to address an ever increasing amount of unstructured data in an industry-standard 3.5-inch HDD. Providing up to 8 TB in a single drive slot, the drive delivers maximum rack density, within an existing footprint, for the most efficient data center floor space usage possible.


"Public and private data centers are grappling with efficiently storing massive amounts of unstructured digital content," said John Rydning, IDC's research vice president for hard disk drives. "Seagate's new 8 TB HDD provides IT managers with a new option for improving storage density in the data center, thus helping them to tackle one of the largest and fastest growing data categories within enterprise storage economically."

The 8 TB hard disk drive increases system capacity using fewer components for increased system and staffing efficiencies while lowering power costs. With its low operating power consumption, the drive reliably conserves energy thereby reducing overall operating costs. Helping customers economically store data, it boasts the best Watts/GB for enterprise bulk data storage in the industry.

"Cleversafe is excited to once again partner with Seagate to deliver to our customers what is truly an innovative storage solution. Delivering absolute lowest cost/TB along with the performance and reliability required for massive scale applications, the new 8 TB hard disk drive is ideal for meeting the needs of our enterprise and service provider customers who demand optimized hardware and the cost structure needed for massive scale out," said Tom Shirley, senior vice president of research and development, Cleversafe.

Outfitted with enterprise-class reliability and support for archive workloads, it features multi-drive RV tolerance for consistent enterprise-class performance in high density environments. The drive also incorporates a proven SATA 6Gb/s interface for cost-effective, easy system integration in both private and public data centers.

Shipping drives to select customers now with wide scale availability next quarter.

Id like to see affordable 1 - 2TB SSDs for Storage. Let's say 100 - 150 Euros.

- Reduced Speeds, but still atleast twice as fast as a traditional HDD.
- Increased Cell Durability.

But noooo, keep pushing and pushing the tech. We need to get rid of traditional HHDs, not make them larger.

Ssd for storage sounds a bit silly. My storage drive is a 4gb usb3 seagate.

Why is it silly, SDDs are the future. At some point they gotta make SSDs with 16TB capacity to replace mechanical drives.

If all you are going to do is install a game to your 256Gb SSD from a Stored 2TB SSD then it is silly. That is unless 2-3TB SSD's come out and are around £150.

Otherwise whats the point? May aswell take your data from you Mechanical Storage and put it on your SSD for fast loading etc. When you have finished, uninstall.

If they make SSD's that are 2-3TB and they are expensive then nobody will buy them will they as they will say "Well i dont need an SSD for Storage, i will just use a cheap Mechanical drive for storage because thats all it is used for......Storage".

Think about it....... :)
