At the last quarterly reporting conference, Seagate did not hidethat it already provides customers with samples of 12 TB hard disks , and will soon offer them prototypes of 16 TB that will combine up to eight magnetic plates in a helium environment. Now Seagate from the pages of the corporate blog states that serial 12-TB hard drives will be available until the end of June this year. The range of solutions of this volume is already defined, it has a pronounced specificity of "cloud"
application.
The HDD of this series offer an average time between failures of 2.5 million hours, and are capable of working for at least five years in a round-the-clock mode. Compared to products of the previous generation, energy efficiency was improved by 21%, data caching rate was increased by 20%. Hard drives of this series are capable of processing up to 550 TB of data per year. In one chassis of the 42U size, you can now place drives with an aggregate capacity of 10 PB (petabytes).
We note that Seagate has not yet responded to the situation with the "dying" Intel Atom C2000 series processors, which can be used in a number of its data storage systems. In any case, colleagues from the German site Golem.de and failed to get from representatives of Seagate intelligible comments about the impact of this defect on the company's warranty policy.
