Seagate introduced a monstrous SSD with a capacity of 60 terabytes

Modern users are frankly spoiled by the speeds of data exchange that SSDs can achieve. In the days of HDD-drives such comfort we never dreamed, but today the operating system is loaded from scratch in seconds, SSD does not make noise and takes much less space inside the computer case. There is only one inconvenience: as a rule, solid-state drives are tightly limited in volume. But the technology is developing rapidly and Seagate company presented its novelty - a solid-state drive with a crazy volume of 60 terabytes.

The novelty of Seagate in a single moment zatknula for the belt all attempts of competitors to create the most capacious SSD-drive. Recall that before that the record holder was Samsung with its 16 TB SSD. The read speed is 1.5 GB / s, and the write speed is 1 GB / s. Of course, this device is unlikely to be affordable for mere mortals, because the manufacturer positions it as a solution for business. The new SSD can accommodate 12,000 DVDs or 400 million photos. Just imagine how much you can store inside a relatively small box. Still, in amazing times we live with you.

Seagate developed the SSD, taking into account the possible expansion of its volume in the future. This means that the data centers do not have to change anything in the server racks, when, for example, there will be a model of a storage capacity of 100 TB and higher. 3.5-inch form factor of the device will remain the same. Officially, the new SSD will go on sale in 2017. The price of the device has not yet been announced.
