Wd announces the ultrastar 15tb disc, the largest ever made

The new king of mechanical storage disks is here. Western Digital has announced a new 15TB Ultrastar DC HC620 hard drive that takes the crown as the largest hard drive yet.

Ultrastar DC HC620 15TB is the largest capacity mechanical storage drive

The new drive outperforms Western Digital's 14TB model it announced last year and Seagate's recently announced 14TB line. Seagate announced last year that it planned to launch a 16TB drive in 2018, which would have outperformed the old 14TB drives and the new 15TB Ultrastar, but nothing has been known so far, so Western Digital You have seen the opportunity to make this announcement and be crowned.

This leaves the new Western Digital drive as the largest hard drive currently available in its mechanical storage drive category, though the company has not said how much this drive will cost or when it will be available to purchase. It should also be noted that these drives are typically sold to business customers, who need bulk storage densities for server and data center applications.

Western Digital's Ultrastar DC HC620 15TB drive is the largest magnetic hard drive ever made, still in its class. The largest drive seen without regard to categories or storage types is the Nimbus Data ExaDrive DC100, which has 100TB of capacity, although this is an SSD, and not a mechanical one.
