Can't wait to see this bad boy on serverpartdeals in a couple years if I'm still alive
if I'm still alive
That goes without saying, unless you anticipate something. Do you?
my qbittorrent is gonna love that
Finally, a hard drive which can store more than a dozen modern AAA games
Great, can't wait to afford it in 60 years.
I'm amazed it's only $800. I figured that shit was gonna be like 8-10 thousand.
Well, it's a Seagate, so it still comes out to about a hundred bucks a month.

This hard drive is so big that when it sits around the house, it sits around the house.
This hard drive is so big when it moves, the Richter scale picks it up.
Me who stores important data on seagate external HDD with no backup reading the comments roasting seagate:

What is the usecase for drives that large?
I 'only' have 12Tb drives and yet my zfs-pool already needs ~two weeks to scrub it all. With something like this it would literally not be done before the next scheduled scrub.
Jesus, my pool takes a little over a day, but I’ve only got around 100 tb how big is your pool?

It's like the petronas towers, everytime they're finished cleaning the windows they have to start again
Sounds like something is wrong with your setup. I have 20TB drives (x8, raid 6, 70+TB in use) .... scrubbing takes less than 3 days.
Data centers???
High capacity storage pools for enterprises.
Space is at a premium. Saving space should/could equal to better pricing/availability.
Not necessarily.
The trouble with spinning platters this big is that if a drive fails, it will take a long time to rebuild the array after shoving a new one in there. Sysadmins will be nervous about another failure taking out the whole array until that process is complete, and that can take days. There was some debate a while back on if the industry even wanted spinning platters >20TB. Some are willing to give up density if it means less worry.
I guess Seagate decided to go ahead, anyway, but the industry may be reluctant to buy this.
I would assume with arrays they will use a different way to calculate parity or have higher redundancy to compensate the risk.
If there's higher redundancy, then they are already giving up on density.
We've pretty much covered the likely ways to calculate parity.
There is an enterprise storage shelf (aka a bunch of drives that hooks up to a server) made by Dell which is 1.2 PB (yes petabytes). So there is a use, but it's not for consumers.
That's a use-case for a fuckton of total capacity, but not necessarily a fuckton of per-drive capacity. I think what the grandparent comment is really trying to say is that the capacity has so vastly outstripped mechanical-disk data transfer speed that it's hard to actually make use of it all.
For example, let's say you have these running in a RAID 5 array, and one of the drives fails and you have to swap it out. At 190MB/s max sustained transfer rate (figure for a 28TB Seagate Exos; I assume this new one is similar), you're talking about over two days just to copy over the parity information and get the array out of degraded mode! At some point these big drives stop being suitable for that use-case just because the vulnerability window is so large that the risk of a second drive failure causing data loss is too great.
