Toshiba HDD Roadmap Shows 40TB HDDs by 2026
Toshiba Nearline HDDs are predicted to reach 35TB by the end of FY2024 and exceed 40TB by 2026. These objectives will be accomplished by adding additional stacking layers (for a total of 11 levels) and utilizing Toshiba's game-changing unique recording technologies.
By realizing the full potential of Flux-Controlled Microwave-Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) and Microwave-Assisted Switching Microwave-Assisted Magnetic Recording (MAS-MAMR), it will be possible to significantly increase recording densities while maintaining an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and operational reliability. As a consequence, Toshiba has significant room to increase capacity levels in the long term while simultaneously lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO).
“The world that we now live in is fuelled by data, with it being the basis of nearly every day-to-day activity we do. This has major implications for the storage sector, as unprecedented quantities of data are now being generated and much of this needs to be placed on the cloud,” states Larry Martinez-Palomo, General Manager of the Storage Products Division at Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH. “Through close consultation with the leading cloud service operators, we have gained valuable insight into what their future data storage requirements will be. By implementing our advanced high-density FC-MAMR and MAS-MAMR devices, they can be confident of having the data storage capabilities necessary, alongside strong read/write performance parameters and prolonged working lifespan.”
