A few days ago, Western Digital announced the world’s first 26TB capacity mechanical hard drive Ultrastar DC HC670, the single-disc capacity reached a new high of 2.6TB at the same time, but it used the SMR shingled magnetic recording technology that everyone shouted, although it is an enhanced version of UltraSMR .
At the same time, Western Digital also launched the world’s first CMR traditional magnetic recording 22TB hard drive Ultrastar DC HC570, with a single disk capacity of 2.2TB.
Speaking of 22TB drives, Seagate has been shipping for a few quarters as well, but in the HSMR hybrid shingled style and only in the data center market.
Now,Seagate’s new 22TB hard drive has been certified by the SATA-IO organizationcode name Osprey (Osprey), numberSTL022serial number STxxxxxNM0092-3CX103, which proves that it is a near-line storage hard drive.
Considering that the Seagate Galaxy Exos X20 20TB hard drive is codenamed Long’s Peak, number STL020,This new hard drive will apparently be the Galaxy Exos X22.
There are various signs thatThe drive is still CMR conventional magnetic recording, not Seagate’s new HAMR thermally assisted magnetic recording.
But thankfully, not SMR.
