WD made its new hard disk drives, the famous HDD, available this week. The company attracts attention by offering products with a record capacity of 32TB, for professional use on servers. The products are already on sale through the manufacturer’s official channels.
The model that reaches 32TB is the Ultrastar DC HC690. It’s the first disk drive with SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) recording technology by WD, so that’s why it achieves such impressive capacity. Furthermore, the company also says that this is the first HDD to hold 11 hard drives, also expanding its capacity.
The DC HC690 arrives accompanied by another model in the line, the Ultrastar DC HC590. This option offers 26TB of space, also using 11 disks in the drive. However, with the slightly smaller capacity, WD opted for the more widespread CMR technology for this product.
The two new drives sacrifice some of their write performance to achieve their immense capabilities. Compared to previous versions, the HC690 drops from 265MB/s to 257MB/s, while the HC590 drops from 298MB/s to 288MB/s. The products are already on sale, but WD has not publicly announced their prices.
WD Gold gets 26TB version
Taking advantage of the launch of the new Ultrastar line drives, WD also presented a new capacity option for its Gold line of HDDs. Like the HC590, the new WD Gold also offers 26TB of storage, including 11 hard drives.
More about HDDs:
The new Gold line drive uses a SATA interface to offer up to 291MB/s and is now on sale on the company’s official website. It costs US$715 in the US, which is the equivalent of a little more than R$4,030. It is also possible to find the product in the Brazilian version of the page, but the price is not openly disclosed.
