SDK thinks they can use this new technology to unlock 6Tb per square inch, an almost a 6x jump compared to the conventional capacity rate of 1.14Tb per square inch.<br \/><br \/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m4NQJtS-Mbs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe> <br \/><br \/>Seagate will be one of the first hard drive manufactures to use this new technology releasing a 20TB hard drive later this year. With typical had drive having nine platters 80TB HDDs are now in the realm of possibilities.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p>We also remain on track to ship 20-terabyte HAMR drives starting in December, which is an important milestone, as we believe HAMR technology will be the industry\u2019s path to scaling areal density and increasing drive capacities. Seagate will be the first to ship this crucial technology with a path to deliver 50-terabyte HAMR drives forecast in 2026.<\/p>\r\n<h4 class=\"ae8d4-cCNpw\" data-test-id=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4380838-seagate-technologys-stx-ceo-dave-mosley-on-q1-2021-results-earnings-call-transcript?part=single\">Seagate Technology&#8217;s (STX) CEO Dave Mosley on Q1 2021 Results &#8211; Earnings Call Transcript<\/a><\/h4>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><br \/>How do hard disk drives (HDD) work?<br \/><br \/><\/h3>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NtPc0jI21i0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the popularity of 4k videos and 8K around the corner the demand for storage has never been higher.
