Useless article. No dates, prices, specs other than the capacity, etc. It does mention this is a new HAMR platform that might reach 100TB in a drive someday.

    The dates are "now"

    The price is irrelevant, because they aren't for you or regular consumers. They're already reserved and being shipped to AI data centers.

    It would have been nice to know what the read\write speed was.

    The price is irrelevant, because they aren’t for you or regular consumers. They’re already reserved and being shipped to AI data centers.

    I mean this is the standard operating procedure for all top end data center products, they aren't sold on consumer marketplaces but can be purchased by suppliers with existing contracts and relationships

    As they ramp up yields larger capacity drives will slowly trickle into more consumer channels until eventually the 40+TB drives are like the 8-12tb drives are today
