Seagate Exos X14 offers 14TB of capacity thanks to Helium
The Seagate Exos X14 is manufactured with a 3.5 inch form factor, this hard drive is designed for large servers making it ideal for hyperscale environments. Its power consumption has been optimized to the maximum to offer great energy efficiency, this is one of the weaknesses of HDDs compared to SSDs, so manufacturers have to work hard. Seagate claims that by 2025, 163 zettabytes of data will have been created, making it very important to continue increasing the capacity of hard drives.
