WD HGST Offers 14 Terabyte Hard Drive

WD HGST Offers 14 Terabyte Hard Drive

Western Digital announced it's 14TB enterprise-class hard drive featuring host-managed shingled magnetic recording (SMR) technology. Western Digital's HGST-branded Ultrastar Hs14 delivers more than twice the sequential write performance of its SMR predecessor.

The future is built on the insights and predictive power of big data. As data grows exponentially, storing it all in an affordable and accessible manner is an ongoing challenge for enterprise and cloud service data center operators. With a focus on total cost of ownership (TCO), the factors of capacity per rack, power consumption, cooling, maintenance, and acquisition cost are all paramount. To combat the big data challenge, Ultrastar Hs14 drives deliver unprecedented capacity leadership and online watt/TB power efficiency for extremely low TCO by harnessing two core complimentary technologies - fourth generation HelioSeal technology, and second generation host-managed SMR - along with enterprise-class reliability.

These mature, field-proven technologies provide the foundation for delivering efficient, quality and reliable performance required by cloud and hyperscale environments, perfect for ultra-dense scale-out storage systems running sequential write workloads. By utilizing SMR technology, Ultrastar Hs14 HDDs offer a 16 percent increase in capacity while keeping highly predictable, highly reliable performance.

"Over 70 percent of the exabytes Western Digital ships into the capacity enterprise segment are on helium-based high-capacity drives and continue to support customers with outstanding reliability, performance and value Quality of Service (QoS)," said Mark Grace, senior vice president of devices at Western Digital. "The TCO and reliability benefits of our HelioSeal platform are the foundation of our leadership in high-capacity enterprise storage."

Ultrastar Hs14 14TB Enterprise Drive Features and Specifications:

  • HelioSeal Technology: Western Digital's fourth-generation helium filled drive technology brings the highest capacity hard drive to market much sooner than competing offerings.
  • Host-managed SMR Technology: Second-generation enterprise storage deployment of host-managed SMR delivers 14TB with no compromise of performance predictability and consistency. Host-managed SMR hard drives are designed specifically for sequential write environments, and will not work as drop-in replacements for traditional capacity enterprise drives.
  • Reliability: Amongst the industry's highest MTBF rating at 2.5M hours.

Availability
The Ultrastar Hs14 enterprise hard drive is currently sampling to select OEMs and comes with a 5-year limited warranty. For more information on the Ultrastar Hs14 14TB enterprise drive, check out their product page.

I don't think so that in 3-5 years HDDs will be obsolete, IMO the price difference won't be in respectively competitive range 'till 9-10 years from now. Sure we can't even imagine when SSDs' price would be same per GB as nowdays for HDDs but still available space is a critical factor so far for most PC users. Today is cheaper to have 2 big HDDs raid-0 AND a big(ger) for backing up them than one big ssd.

Well we had lots of fun with hdd-s all those years especially older people like me ;), but reality is that in 3-5 years they will be obsolete tech, but that's called advancement in technology same analogy as CRT>LCD & HDD>SSD..

SSD tech and price have a long way to go before HDD is obsolete. You don't seem that old because you don't know how long it took for HDD to be at this price/GB point. Maybe in 20 years, when something better than SSD is invented, HDD will be obsolete. Until then, if you want performance go SSD and if you need storage go HDD.

I agree.

I bought my 960 pro 1tb nvme to watch my porn videos.
They load a lot faster so I can get to the action quicker.
