Western Digital has announced its latest storage innovation, with the launch of UltraSMR HDD drives with capacities of up to 32 terabytes, making them the largest in the world. This new innovation is based on the energy-assisted Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (ePMR) technology, designed specifically to meet the needs of large cloud data centers and cloud service providers.
These drives are the perfect solution for companies looking to improve their infrastructure and reduce total cost of ownership, especially as companies increasingly rely on future storage strategies.
The launch of UltraSMR drives is a significant step in enhancing storage efficiency, as they are designed to provide cost-effective and ideal solutions for companies seeking to store massive amounts of data at low costs.
In addition, the company has started shipping 26 terabyte ePMR CMR HDD drives, which rely on an innovative platform featuring 11 disks, a unique design that is the first of its kind in the commercial market, providing huge storage capacities and reliable performance.
These new hard drives play a pivotal role in the AI-driven data lifecycle, processing vast amounts of data, enabling companies to efficiently manage storage and production simultaneously.
These drives are equipped with technologies that reduce power consumption and enhance storage density, making them the optimal choice for companies looking to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
