Seagate introduced a new SSD capacity of 60 TB

«Giant» made in the classic for the HDD form factor of 3, 5 inches
The last five years of SSD-drives persistently win back his place in the sun. But with all the advantages of a solid-state electronic storage, the high cost and small amounts of disk, as well as other "baby" technology illness forced to seek a compromise between the use of SSD and HDD.
The novelty was presented at the Flash Memory Summit. In addition to the disc 60 TB Seagate also showed modest product - SSD Nytro NVMe XP7200 8 TB.
Now SSD is used mainly as disks for OS and software requiring high-speed access to files, while the HDD still serve as a massive file storage. But the SSD had a huge head start in the first place, in size - the main custom models are available either in the form factor of 2, 5 inches, either in the form of fees for connection via PCI Express port using NVMe protocol (as well as the novelty of Seagate on 8TB). HDD also long been "rested" in the amount of 3, 5-inch disk, and engineers had to go to various tricks to increase the amount of memory is available for use. So, the same Seagate has recently presented 10 TB HDD for home use, which uses a "tiled" recording technology.
The new SSD-products company focused primarily on the corporate segment. The manufacturer hopes that their development will help meet the growing demand for storage services, cloud servers and machines on the basis of the SSD. The company's management sees the 60 TB disk as an alternative to an existing HDD, which are used to store large amounts of data. NVMe SSD 8 TB is regarded as a product for use in high scientific and / or weather systems that produce complex calculations.
On the technical characteristics drives the company is not much spread. From model interface experts have concluded that the new 60 TB will have a speed of random read to 150,000 IOPS, and did not even want to think about the random write speeds, but it is clear that the current form of a disk, it will be very, very small. The disc features a more modern interface Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) instead of SATA «standard».
In addition, the novelty has not even hit the stores, and the company's management says that in the future the world can see and 100 TB of SSD.
The second disc, Nytro NVMe XP7200, much more curious and know more about it. 8 TB SSD from Seagate is capable of 940,000 random read operations per second and 160,000 write operations, and sequential read / write speeds up to 10 Gb / s and 3, 6 Gb / s, respectively. But there is in this story, and fly in the ointment: for its work the new drive will take a full slot PCI Express x16, instead of which has already become a familiar accommodation in the PCIe x1

The new SSD is equipped with a passive cooling radiator. In general, the appearance of the new product is more like a video card with passive cooling comes from the beginning of zero, than modern high-tech products in the field of recording and storing information.
The exact price of the drives is not yet known. Seagate claims that the Nytro will be available later this year, and 60 TB SSD will be available only in 2017.
