Seagate isn’t the only one with a 10TB hard drive as Western Digital announced that it will be releasing a new, high-capacity configuration of up to 10T for its award-winning WD Gold datacenter hard drives.
Designed for modern enterprice storage systems, the WD Gold 10TB comes with HelioSeal helium-technology for high capcity, power efficient storage for datacenter environments. The design of the WD Gold 10TB has also be optimised, resulting in a 8% operating power reduction while delivering 25% more capacity. This improvement helps reduce TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of servers and storage systems.

“WD Gold drives are a key component of the overall WD portfolio, providing power efficient, capacity-optimized storage for a wide range of high workload applications. The new 10TB capacity enables customers to efficiently deploy higher density storage solutions,” says Brendan Collins, Vice President of Product Marketing for Western Digital.
