Seagate Ships First 8 Terabyte Hard Drive
MojoKid (1002251) writes Seagate announced today that it has begun shipping the world's first 8 Terabyte hard drive. The 8TB hard drive comes only five months after Western Digital released the first ever 6TB HDD. Up until then, Seagate's high capacity HDDs had been shipping only to select enterprise clients. The 8TB HDD comes in the 3.5-inch form factor and, according to the manufacturer, features a SATA 6Gbps interface and multi-drive RV tolerance which makes it suitable for data centers. It's unclear what technology the drive is based on, or if PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording) or low-resistance helium technology was employed.
That sure is a lot of porn...
Just like before I can lose entire tv series when the disk fails. But now it's the HD version of the series I will lose. That's called progress.
lucm, indeed.
That was true about a decade ago. Since then, the companies have been able to come up with a much better glue to hold the bits to the tape.

Damn, I thought it meant it would do well in my Winnebago. My server rack is near the rear axle and I've had some issues on bumpy roads...
