Seagate on Wednesday introduced its Exos X24 family of hard drives, it's highest capacity series of drives to date.

Maybe it's an old technique, like RLL coding, that's now being used on NAND and so I'd never find this info unless I was at some archaic HDD place at the right time? At 24TB in capacity, the new IronWolf Pro drives offer more capacity per drive but also show just how much hard drive innovation has slowed. I run RAID6 so if a disk dies it goes in the bin and then I rebuild the array once a new disk is plugged back in.

Today, Seagate Technology Holdings plc, a world leader in mass-data storage infrastructure solutions, launched the new Seagate IronWolf Pro 24 TB hard drive addresses the evolving data demands of SMB and enterprise network attached storage (NAS) environments. The new family is comprised of both conventional magnetic recording technology (CMR) and shingled magnetic recording (SMR) models, with the CMR drive topping out at 24 TB, while SMR brings the peak capacity up to 28 TB.Highly reliable performance with enhanced caching—making it the logical choice for cloud data center and massive scale-out data center applications. Customize your business’s storage mix to fit your specific needs with a full portfolio of enterprise-class WD Gold HDDs in capacities of 1TB to 24TB 1, with OptiNAND™ technology in 20TB, 22TB and 24TB.

Both of these drives are further enhanced with OptiNAND to improve performance by storing repeatable runout (RRO) metadata on NAND memory (instead of on disks) and improve reliability. Exos X24 HDDs are also adaptable to meet the diverse needs of major clients, supporting PowerBalance technology, which offers data centers the ability to harmonize power usage with IOPS performance. Reconfigure the drive to RAID-1 for redundancy (data mirroring), or use it as two independent drives (JBOD) with the included WD Drive Utilities™ software. Meanwhile, per-TB power efficiency of Western Digital's 24 TB and 28 TB HDDs is around 10% - 12% higher than that of 22 TB and 26 TB drives, respectively, due to higher capacity and more or less the same power consumption.inch 7200 RPM hard drives includes Western Digital's Ultrastar DC HC580 24 TB and WD Gold 24 TB HDDs, which are based on the company's energy-assisted perpendicular magnetic recording (ePMR) technology. This announcement is expected to disrupt the storage industry, as it will allow for larger storage capacities in a smaller form factor. With capacities ranging from 2 TB to 24 TB, the Seagate IronWolf Pro portfolio is built to scale the needs of any growing business.

Seagate's platters feature perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) and heads utilizing two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) technology (to minimize adjacent track interference and ensure reliable reading at high track pitch densities).

That and the fact that I don't know if a drive of such extreme capacity will work with a Core 2-era motherboard that has a legacy Award BIOS (not as a boot drive, but just as attached storage) have stopped me from purchasing one so far.inch disk in the lab, which opens doors to HDDs with capacities of 50TB and higher (assuming that the drives use 10 platters or more). The enterprise-focused drives otherwise check all of the usual boxes for this market segment, including vibration resistance and RV sensors. One of the big benefits of larger drives is that they allow more storage to fit into the same physical space and almost the same power budget. I think this year, [the share of HAMR HDDs] will probably still be relatively low," said the head of Seagate.
