Western Digital has revealed some details of its plans for the coming years.
For example, she believes that her current technologies will allow the release of a 30 TB hard drive in the coming years. In this case, we are talking about OptiNAND technology (built-in flash memory for increased performance and reliability) and ePMR (perpendicular magnetic recording with energy pumping). These technologies will allow the company to increase the HDD capacity up to 30 TB. At the same time, this requires the company to increase the recording density of the platters by 36% and use 10 platters per drive.
The company will use HAMR technology to expand its hard drives further. It is also worth noting that, for some reason, mentions of MAMR technology (recording with exposure to microwaves) have disappeared from the company’s plans. Previously, it was WD that called it a technology that will increase the volume of HDD up to 40 TB.
Well, as for the nearest plans, next year Western Digital can increase the volume of its HDDs from the current 20 TB to 22 TB by simply adding a tenth platter.
