Seagate Technology Launches 6TB HDD
With enterprise reliability and NAS optimized performance in up to 16-bays, the Enterprise NAS drive is available in capacities up to an industry-leading 6TB, and is designed to perform at high levels even under demanding workloads and in environments that call for global availability and 24x7 accessibility.
"As the industry moves deeper into the cloud era, all businesses need solutions that enable applications to be accessed anywhere at any time," said Scott Horn, Seagate vice president of marketing. "With our portfolio of NAS products, we can effectively target the needs of all types of businesses and scale with them as they grow in size. These drives are tailored to the requirements of businesses, ensuring customers have choices so they are only paying for the features they need."
Available in 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6TB capacities, Seagate Enterprise NAS HDD can deliver up to 96TBs in one 16-bay rackmount or tower form factor. With a 50 percent capacity advantage over competitive offerings, the Enterprise NAS HDD 6TB drive delivers the highest capacity available on the market. Using RV sensor technology, the Enterprise NAS HDD can also sustain performance streaming and random read/write workloads for growing business data needs, intrinsically adjusting and compensating based on usage.
"QNAP constantly strives to provide business users with reliable and scalable NAS solutions for storage, backup, iSCSI and virtualization applications, and many other practical business applications," said Meiji Chang, general manager of QNAP Systems, Inc. "Seagate's Enterprise NAS HDD allows us to deliver a compelling and cost-effective NAS offering that meets the capacity, performance, availability and reliability requirements of our end customers."
In the event of a failure, be it environmental, human error, or accident, the Enterprise NAS HDD is supported by Seagate's own Rescue Data Recovery plans (optional), which provide end-to-end protection enabling industry-leading data recovery with more than a 90 percent success rate. The plans also cover NAS HDDs targeting the SOHO and prosumer NAS market and Surveillance HDDs targeting video surveillance systems.
Seagate Enterprise NAS HDD key features include:
- Rescue Data Recovery options for that extra peace of mind
- 5 year limited warranty for long-term protection
- RAID Rebuild technology for reduced downtime
- Error Recovery Control for data accuracy and protection
- RV Sensor for detecting and compensating for vibrational disturbances

Anyone else still remember when a 100Mb hard Drive was considered large enough for anyone's needs?
But that was back in the days of elegant coding, when every byte counted, and no storage space wasted.
Read on one of the other threads a couple of days ago that some coders are putting games within games.
Mind you, back then a 100Mb HD did cost as much as a 3Tb HD does today, and so I'm not going to grumble at all.

i remember when 40Mb was a huge volume
i was student and had a 286 card in my Amiga 2000 (btw what a great computer).
when i look at my 6To nas that is too small right now...
Wow i feel old now lol

My very first HD was a Great Valley Products(TM) 40MB scsi in an Amiga 2000...that set me back a cool 500 clams...!...
Along with everything else, how times have changed! (Yes, the Amiga was fabulous in its day...easily a decade ahead of single-tasking monochrome Macs and 4-color CGA PCs with beeps for sound..!)

Well, you have to also consider how small the average program size was at the time...not necessarily because it was coded in assembly, either. Back then programs could only access by-comparison tiny amounts of ram, and they simply did not require much space at all...I remember well one particular quote from an EA developer at the time (long before EA turned into what it is now...50% populated with nitwits...), he said he could not imagine developing a program large enough to fit on a single 1.44MB floppy disk...!...
All things are relative...games today, for instance, ship with GB's of textures which are loaded onto gpus with GB's of on-board, local ram... Resolutions are far higher, etc. & etc.
Back then (as well as today), nothing stressed your hardware--allowed you to push its limits--like game software. It's the one thing that allows us to "get our money's worth" with the hardware we buy--Internet browsers and word processors certainly don't...Today, too, the software market is exponentially bigger and there are far, far more programs that people can choose from than existed in, say, 1987, or 1992, etc. And now people have the room to install and run them; whereas back then they didn't.
Yea, sure, some of it is inefficiency, bloat, and waste--but a lot of that is strictly in the eye of the beholder. No way would I trade the power and capability I have today for the so-called "efficiency" of yesteryear...but that's just me...

I'm the sure the good folks at Backblaze are getting ready for their next beast build, 2 months ago they were waiting for prices to drop a bit first to test a few units with 6TB's.

I want my Amiga 500 with side expansion, 4MB of ram and 40MB SCSI hard drive again.
I loved that computer the most of any I have ever owned.

How's this for reliability
2x 120 GB Seagate ST3120026AS, Power-On Hours > 80,000
I bought them around 2000., and ran them pretty much 24/7.
Their manual reads:
Mean time between failures (power-on hours): 600,000
Service life: 5 years
Quick calculation:
(600,000 - 80,000)/80,000 x 14(disks age) = 91 years left in them
