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...
It's advertised as an "Archive HD" I believe the main application is "cold storage" that needs to be available, but isn't accessed often. There's a two-year old article on SMR here: http://www.zdnet.com/article/competitio ... mr-drives/
Early technology was quite sensitive to vibration, so it will be interesting to see how the Seagate stacks up in that regard.
The article ahpsi links in describes the 180TB workload as "light" and 550TB as "heavy".
Seagate enterprise drives state the workload is 550 TB/year here: http://www.seagate.com/www-content/prod ... 1404us.pdf
That datasheet also claims that 550 TB/year is 10x the workload of a desktop drive, but that spec is (not surprisingly) missing on both their desktop and NAS datasheets.
