In Reply to: RE: 8 TB hard drives coming posted by LWR on August 27, 2014 at 09:08:23
Don't hold your breath. I doubt that they'll be available in the retail channel before next year.
Looks like more of Seagate's SMR technology, which means good SLOOOW. Good enough for data archiving. And music, I suppose.
For reliability's sake, I think I'd stick to drives at far less than the industry's maximum capacity. You'll note that there are no 6TB enterprise drives available yet. The technology is a little too new. Stick to 4TB drives for now.
Follow Ups:
Even those drives are a bit on the slow side comparatively. High volume read/write applications are still limited to SAS drives under 1TB.
For music storage, any of the USB 3.0 4TB drives is what I'd buy, except for Buffalo.
