If your storage could do with an upgrade you may be
interested in a new 15 TB Ultrastar DC HC620 HDD created by Western Digital,
designed to provide “an unprecedented capacity point with a time-to-market
advantage for customers who have invested in, and continue to take advantage of
the benefits of SMR”. Using 15 TB HDDs allows a fully populated 4U60 HDD
enclosure to reach a raw storage capacity of 900 TB, which is an additional 60
TB per 4U rack in the same footprint compared to those utilising 14 TB HDDs.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or
worldwide availability has been released as yet, but as soon as information
