8TB HDD - Seagate ST8000AS0002
I know it's all theory at this point but do you think OS 6.x will support the new 8TB shingled magnetic recording drives? Retail is $260 which is certainly a bargain. Currently being shipped to Amazon...
From Seagate's PR
and from the data sheet:
"Archive workloads"... Not sure if a typical NAS workload can always be described as simply an archive workload - but certainly some could. Either way, @ $266 a drive its a great price point. No discount for buying a 20 pack though -> http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-ST8000AS0002-20PK-ARCHIVE-128MB-3-5IN/dp/B00QPMRIFM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418416009&sr=8-1&keywords=ST8000AS0002&pebp=1418416012106 :(
