Seagate Announces Seagate Mach.2 Exos 2X14 HDD With Up to 524 MB/s Sequential Speeds

Sata III soon will be death not only for enterprise but also for ordinary consumers. There is no point to keep this very ancient tech alive.

That’s why SAS succeeded SATA in enterprise, which is what this disk uses

SATA III is 6Gbps, which should support 600MBps transfer speeds (10/8 encoding IIRC: 10 bits to represent 8 bits, so 6000 megabits == 600 Megabytes). We need to see faster disks before SATA III is technically obsolete. SAS is 12Gbps.

This is theoretical maximum of transfer speed not practical. Yes will see faster HDDs soon.

SAS 4 is almost double that, 22 something Gbps

Math fail in the name, they should be 2X7 HDD.

It is part of the X14 series, and has 2 actuators, so 2X14

Correct, but it's still misleading. 2X14 means "2 times 14" to most people; especially seeing as it's advertised as a 14TB drive, so it could easily be misinterpreted as a 28TB drive that's made up of 2x 14TB logical volumes.

Seagate must be got fines because of fake designation.

HDD ? Spinning rust ? whahdembe, hahahahahahahahaha

Exos X18 is up to 18 TB, but also has 16, 14, and 12 TB, Exos X16 is up to 16 TB, but also has 14 and 12 TB. Exos 2X14 is up to 14 TB total capacity, so it fits with their lineup... the X is just the series designator, you also have the E series, there it is even more confusing.

hmmm

So my old 256GB plextor M3s ssd I gave a buddy is still running strong as a primary drive, almost 10 years old.

Plextor PX-M3S SSD Review

Like their recent M2P SSD, the Plextor PX-M3S uses a Marvell 9174 processor, however…

When todays' generation hdds can do that call me.

I have like samsung drives here of each 320GB each that was high-end at some point, and they still work without problems. One of 'm makes a nasty click upon powering 'm on. But thats about it.

I lost trust in seagate as a brand in total; their faillure rate is so high and knowing i lost good data of myself once as well, i woud'nt want to bet on it. I used todo data recovery, most brands where obviously seagate followed with WD.

Failure rate for major brands of hard drives isnt that bad anymore. There was period where failure rates were bad for the top players, but that was 10-12 years ago.

As much as people want to say platter drives are dinosaur tech, there is still plenty of stuff happening to make them better and there's things brought up all the time of how to advance them further. Solid state is just not there on the capacity side of things for datacenters, cloud, etc. that makes up a massive majority of WD and Seagate shipping volume.

I have old drives that still work also. When I said recent I meant within the last 5-6 years. The quality really dropped for a bit after the floods in Thailand however many years ago. But yes HDDs do seem to be coming around still lots of reviews with failures though.
