Storage solution provider Seagate Technology said on the 22nd that Seagate’s new 14TB capacity enterprise-class Xenon HDD has been developed and its products are expected to ship as early as the second quarter of 2018. Corresponding to explosive growth in storage requirements , How to provide products with higher storage capacity in storage environments of the same size and volume has become a common development direction for storage companies in recent years. It also enables related storage technologies such as helium filling, shingling magnetic recording technology (SMR), and thermally assisted magnetization. Record (HAMR) technology and other learning. Seagate this time for the first time in the US OCP Summit in 2018, first published 14TB capacity enterprise-class Xenon HDD products to meet the large-scale data center storage needs. Seagate pointed out that the rapid expansion of data How to effectively store data and use it for analysis has been quite challenging for the enterprise. According to statistics from relevant research institutions, by 2025, the amount of data stored globally will expand to 163ZB. The main reason for the expansion of capacity storage products is that Seagate’s new push of 14 TB drives is a 3.5-inch product with good performance in terms of capacity, energy consumption, and access speed. In addition to the built-in encryption function, compared with the existing 10TB hard disk products, the new 14TB should be able to increase the PB capacity per rack by 40%, and reduce the weight by 10% compared with the general air-enclosed near-line hard disk. After this product is released, it is expected that The market can be launched in the second quarter of this year as quickly as possible. In addition to Seagate, the trends and layout of other competitors are also positive. WD HGST has released the first 14TB hard disk in October 2017. The other Toshiba has also been separately Released 12TB and 14TB of two new high-capacity hard disk products, as a new weapon to attack the cloud, data center big data storage.
