Seagate is one of those companies that still have a hard time putting aside the development of conventional hard drives to move solely and exclusively to develop SSD drives. This does not mean that they do not work with this technology, which is gradually conquering the market although, for now, the truth is that there is still room, as you can see, for traditional hard drives.
This time we have to talk about the new Seagate Enterprise Capacity V7, 3,5-inch drives that we have heard of on occasion and that, finally, have finished their testing phase to reach the market with a 12 TB maximum capacity. As a detail, tell you that these new units have helium technology as well as a series of measures with which it has been possible to reduce the number of errors, impact of the vibration of the internal components or the security and resistance in this class of devices .
Seagate presents its new 12 TB capacity hard drive.
As stated by Seagate, these drives are capable of reaching sustained transfer speeds of up to 261MB / s, a speed that, as you can see, is the first handicap of this type of technology compared to SSDs since the latter are capable of multiplying these rates by 10. At the moment the price at which this type of units can reach the market is unknown, although, as a detail, I can tell you that the company's 10 TB units are currently priced at $ 500.
