Seagate is now sampling 36TB hard drives based on HAMR technology
SMRTR summary
Seagate is advancing storage technology with heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) hard drives. They're shipping 36TB drives to select customers, featuring 10-platter designs with 3.6TB per platter, aiming for 10TB per platter in the future. These drives offer 300% more capacity, 25% lower cost per TB, and 60% reduced power consumption per TB compared to previous models. However, the highest-capacity drives use shingled magnetic recording, potentially impacting write performance for some applications.
