Western Digital Releases 24TB Ultrastar & Gold Hard Drives, 28TB SMR Drives Ramping

So, only Gold series is to be available in stores, which means just 24 TB CMR drive.

All drives are getting out in SATA version first, SAS is to follow later.

What is real technical difference between Gold and "Ultrastar" lines anyway ? 🙄

SMR should die.

I can't imagine how many years it would take to resilver that drive.

Depends on your use case. If you can get 15% more storage for the same cost it could be worth it to data hoarders for no measurable performance issues.

Bad take. Everything has a use case. SMR is great as a cold storage medium
