Any word on prices and failure rate ?
In the table and in the last paragraph it mentioned the 10TB... nothing on the 8TB...Kenrou said:Any word on prices and failure rate ?
Amazon currently sells the Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5" HDD 10TB (ST10000NM0016) for $695.98 (note that this is not an MSRP), which is far from affordable. Still, keep in mind that we talking about exclusive products based on a brand-new platform. Such HDDs make a lot of sense for datacenters, but, currently, not so much for desktops or NAS units.
helium is inert so i dont get where this is going.
High, it is Seagate.
true but i couldn't fit the entire title of the article in the post title for our forum.Helium hard drives have been around for years. This is nothing new. What IS new is the extremely high platter density.
just curious, are these 2012 model drives?Seagates are fine. They had a generational hiccup for their 2012 series models.
Oh, and in before the inevitable "lets see this data". Do your own homework.
A relevant observation from our Operations team on the Seagate drives is that they generally signal their impending failure via their SMART stats. Since we monitor several SMART stats, we are often warned of trouble before a pending failure and can take appropriate action. Drive failures from the other manufacturers appear to be less predictable via SMART stats
so, the idea is to reduce the platter aero dynamic drag to reduce the power draw of the motor?
Seagates are fine.
Very WD fanboyish thing to say.High, it is Seagate.
I have a box of dead Seagate HDDs that wish to disagree. LOL

Seagates failure rate in no different than anybody elses.

I have boxes full of everybody's dead drives that says they're all equal give or take a percent or so.
Except for the Deathstars. They pretty much lead the pack.

I like the data there, but that environment really is a worst case. I don't know anyone that beats on consumer level drives in a Datacenter. I would imagine the failure rates are a lot lower across ALL brands using a normal usage model.
Read the update from 2/2016 and came across this:
Typically when going against what is commonly held as conventional wisdom (albeit right or wrong) it's up to that person to provide supporting evidence.
