Series Ultrastar He12 proposal is intended for professional use, It requires the greatest possible performance and recording density.
You thought, hard drives are disappearing? Ничего более далекого от истины. Company Western Digital presented hard disks HGST Ultrastar He12, which will offer a record capacity 12 TB - they will replace such models as the Ultrastar HE10 capacity 8 and 10 TB.
Series Ultrastar He12 also uses technology HelioSeal, но производитель увеличил здесь количество дисков с 7 to 8 pcs (still they are characterized by a spindle speed 7200 rpm). Media capture leading positions, when it comes to energy efficiency and density data recording, and at the same time offer a slightly better performance.
Manufacturer, probably already planned delivery of the first engineering samples for select OEM companies, and the total availability to be announced early next year (planned model with SATA interface 6 Gb / s and SAS 12 Gb / s). by the way, it is worth noting, that some time ago a similar drive company announced Seagate, but it is not yet known when it will be available.
But this is not the end of the ambitious plans of the manufacturer, потому что в середине следующего года должна появиться еще более емкостная модель – на этот раз объемом 14 TB. We will continue to deal with 8 discs, but large capacity must be credited SMR technology (Shingled Magnetic Recording). According to the manufacturer, the new drives will be intended mainly for data archiving.
