Five Hard Drive Technologies Making Big Data Possible
Hard drives have been around a long time and maybe because of that they don't seem to be as exciting as SSDs. Even after 60 years, though, hard drives are still advancing by great leaps. This is the first of a series of blogs detailing upcoming technologies that Western Digital is planning to deliver to customers to enable the next 60 years of hard drives. We’re going to look at technologies to allow hard drives to store more data, revolutionary hardware designs that dramatically improve hard drive performance, and advanced methods of enabling better use of those faster, denser hard drives in cloud data centers. But before we look to the future, let's review where we are today. Here are five technologies you might not know about but which are powering leading enterprise hard drives such as the 14TB Ultrastar DC HC530 and 15TB Ultrastar DC HS620 used in many cloud data centers today.
