   Western Digital has made a huge HDD breakthrough

   By [7]Anthony Spadafora published about 19 hours ago

   Storage giant has unveiled the world’s first 26TB UltraSMR HDDThe
   reason the storage giant has been able to significantly expand the
   capacity of HDDs over the years is due to its ever expanding technology
   portfolio which includes its unique [8]OptiNAND technology,
   energy-assisted PMR ([9]ePMR), triple-stage actuator
   ([10]TSA), [11]HelioSeal and now UltraSMR.

   Western Digital’s new ePMR drives leverage the company’s OptiNAND
   technology to unlock higher levels of capacity, performance and data
   resiliency. For instance, its new 22TB CMR HDD incorporates OptiNAND to
   deliver areal density on a 2.2TB/platter HelioSeal platform with ten
   disks.
