Western Digital has had a good couple of years consolidating its position as a global leader in storage. The company has a portfolio of four brands, all serving different markets with specialised and high-performance products.
The Western Digital brand specializes in developing and manufacturing high-performance, high-capacity HDD and flash drives. In this age of NAND solid-state storage, you could be forgiven for thinking that old-school spinning hard drives are yesterday’s technology, but not according to Rob Soderbery, the executive vice president and general manager of Western Digital’s flash business unit.
The two new data center drives announced are the storage industry’s first 22TB CMR and 26TB UltraSMR hard disk drives which feature a 50% bump in capacity. Using the same 3.5-inch enclosure that we’ve all grown to know and love over many years, the 22TB Ultrastar DC HC570 HDD and 26TB Ultrastar DC HC670 are being rolled out to WD’s select hyperscale customers now.
Alongside the two new HDDs, Western Digital has also announced its largest-ever solid-state storage drive in the form of the new Ultrastar PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD with a maximum capacity of 16TB. That’s a lot of super-fast storage for data centers that need the fastest storage technology available. As well as boosting speed, the smaller 2.5-inch form factor of the Ultrastar NVMe PCIe 4.
