HGST has just announced the world's first hard drive with 10TB capacity. The new Ultrastar Archive Ha10 SMR HDD is said to be setting new standards worldwide.
Just like the Ultrastar Archive He8, the Ha10 uses helium to facilitate the rotation of the platters achieving less friction and vibration than conventional platters diskthat we all know.
The disk can use more and finer platters, thereby achieving increased capacity.
Ha10, referred to as an idea in September last year, uses SMR recording.
HGST reports that the product is the result of the combination of two complementary technologies: The second generation ΗGST technology with the proven HelioSeal platform and magnetic recording (SMR).
So the company manages to deliver unparalleled storage density and savings energys, without compromising the reliability and performance of the device.
