If you thought that Samsung’s monstrous 15.3TB PM1633a SAS solid-state drive (SSD) was impressive, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Seagate strutted into the Flash Memory Summit this week touting a new SAS SSD that offers four times the storage capacity of the PM1633a — that’s right, this new enterprise-class SSD has a 60TB capacity. This 60TB SSD prioritizes maximum capacity over outright speed, and uses a dual-port 12 Gbps SAS interface. Inside the 3.5-inch form-factor SSD you’ll find Micron 3D TLC NAND, a single SSD controller and ONFi bridge chips. Read/write speeds (128KB) are nothing to write home about, at 1,500 MB/s and 1,000 MB/s respectively. Random read IOPS (4KB QD32) are rated at 150,000....

Remember when hard drive capacities were measured in megabytes instead of gigabytes? Perhaps you can recall using cassette tapes to store your data. Those digital dark ages are long gone, and today's hard drives are much more capacious, but with solid state drives coming down in price, are HDDs on their last legs? Not by a long shot. IHS iSuppli says maximum areal densities in HDDs are expected to more than double during the five-year period from 2011 to 2016, climbing to a maximum 1,800 Gigabits (Gb) per square inch per platter, up from 744 Gb per square inch in 2011. This tremendous growth is being fueled by more demanding video and audio storage requirements. Image Source: Western Digital...
