Review WD Gold 24TB HDD review: The highest capacity hard drive you can buy right now

[DSzymborski]

Why are optinand and armorcache not brought down to smaller capacities like 8TB

These types of features are usually mainly in the higher-end segment of HDD lines because the people and businesses buying those hard drives are less price-conscious.

True but GOLD is marketed as an enterprise drive, basically a HGST with a WD label. Maybe have an optinand/armourcache drive option for the same capacity SKU.

Or if the time is ripe, a super storage based on SSD. No noise, barely power and far better reliability.

Yeah ExaDrive DC100 blows these in storage density out of the water.

Jeez... and here I thought that my 18TB WD Red Pro was huge.....
