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...

I'm not too familiar with these specs, but 180TB/year workload rate limit sounds like it could work in many environments.
The 4TB Segate NAS Drives I just picked up compare like this:
Load/Unload Cycles 600,000 (2x the 8TB)
Nonrecoverable Read Errors per Bits Read, Max 1 per 10E14 (same as the 8TB)
Workload Rate Limit (TB/year) Could not find
Power-On Hours 8760 (24×7) (same as the 8TB)
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) (hours) 1MM (+200K)
Limited Warranty (years) 3
