Toshiba will release 14 TB HDD helium filled this year
Toshiba will release 14 TB HDD helium filled this year, at least that is what Toshiba stand staff at the Huawei Connect conference 2017 in Shanghai stated when asked about a 14TB helium-filled disk drive. It would arrive "very soon".
As reported by the register; they confirmed that meant before the end of the year. Such a capacity would leapfrog Seagate's 12TB helium-filled drive. Currently Toshiba's largest disk drive, the MN series NAS drive, holds 8TB, spins at 7,200rp, and uses a 6Gbit/s SATA interface. It was announced in April this year. We have no information on the coming drive's platter count or interface but it's probably going to be SATA.

Great they are still increasing capacity, but (I suspect due to low demand) drive prices above 6TB are still stubbornly high.

I think i would rather have 2x7TB than have a single massive 14TB drive. Like someone else said, that's a whole lot of data to lose on just one drive.

yes the 4TB is still the best ratio data/price
Helium have no data on fail rates right now the tech is too young to use the data... also those HDD are made to be in raid and so the lost of data is clearly insinificant in the right config of raid.
Also HDD is still the best mass storage if you need space (SSD is too expensive for that)

As much as i love the big space, the fail rates on traditional hard drives are far to high for me to want to trust 14TB worth of data on them!! specially in the UK when download speeds are still so slow, having to re-download everything would take weeks if not months!

That's why you are using RAID1 ,5 or 10 for those drives, never a single one for backup
