Western Digital announced updates in their nearline data center hard disk drive (HDD) portfolio. The new sealed helium filled HDDs have capacities of 16 and 18 TB, implement a version of energy assisted magnetic recording (EAMR) and use three pivot points to place heads on the disk surfaces. These technologies are being used in WDC’s Ultrastar and WD Gold HDDs as well as in the company’s Ultrastar Storage Platforms.Many of these developments were discussed at theJanuary 2020 Storage Road Trip visit to WDCThe 18 TB HDD, like all of WDC’s nearline HDDs, use aluminum-magnesium alloy disk substrates, which may provide some cost advantages versus glass disks used by other HDD companies.
