Those who are looking for tons of storage in their system
must definitely consider Seagate’s Archive line of hard disk drives. This week,
the company announced a new 8TB model that will be sold for just $260.
The drive uses Shingled Magnetic Recording (SRM) technology
that allows for more data to be stored using the same space as traditional 3.5-inch
HDDs. It also consumes less power and features Seagate’s on-demand, time-to-ready
PowerChoice technology. Moreover, the drive can be equipped with
Self-Encrypting drive options for secure data storage and retirement.
Seagate is offering the drive in three different capacities –
8GB, 6TB and 5TB. According to reports, shipments have already reached
distributors so it’s only a matter of time before we see these massive drives
hit the shelves at the local mall.
