Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has announced in Europe the strategy of the Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage division dedicated to storage technologies for product development of its line of near line hard drives. This new line of Toshiba nearline hard drives will feature additional engineering innovations and aims to significantly increase the capacities of these intermediate storage drives.
The strategy has among its plans that the next generations of Toshiba nearline hard drives reach a storage capacity of 35 TB before the end of its 2024 fiscal year. Its next goal will be for hard drives to exceed 40TB in capacity by 2026. These goals will be achieved by adding more platters per drive, having storage drives with a total of 11 platters; in combination with the use of Toshiba's revolutionary patented recording technologies.
Toshiba aims to improve the capacity of hard drives
Toshiba announces that by using Flux Control – Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording (FC-MAMR) technology and its Microwave Assisted Switching Microwave Assisted Recording (MAS-MAMR) technology, it will be possible to increase recording densities. The use of these technologies will also guarantee high figures in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and continuous operational reliability.
With this, Toshiba claims to have the scope to continue to increase the capacity levels of hard drives in the long term. These technologies will also allow them to reduce the time of total cost of ownership.
The world we live in today is fueled by data, which is the basis of practically any of the activities we carry out on a daily basis and this has enormous implications for the storage industry, since unprecedented volumes of data are being generated that to a large extent they have to be placed in the cloud. Thanks to a close relationship with the main cloud service operators. We have gained valuable insight into what your future data storage requirements will be, and with our advancements in high-density FC-MAMR and MAS-MAMR devices, you can be sure you will have the capabilities required storage, along with strong read/write performance metrics and long lifespan
