Seagate

To handle the number-crunching that Big Data will need in the future, hard drive read and write speeds need to keep up with capacity gains. To that end, Seagate has now unveiled Multi Actuator technology, which will allow two sets of data to be written or read from the same drive at the same time.

Businesses are being forced to store huge amounts of data, and manufacturers are ramping up the capacity of their hardware to cope with the load. The latest product of that practice is the 60TB SAS SSD from Seagate, the world's largest solid state drive.

Seagate is doing its best to sate people's craving for gigabytes on the go by announcing the world's highest capacity 2.5-inch hard drive. Measuring 7 mm thick and packing two 1 TB platters, the new HDD offers a capacity of 2 TB.

If you're anything like us, you'll find yourself regularly having to delete games from your Xbox One's hard drive in order to make room for new titles. Seagate's latest product is designed to combat that exact issue, providing an extra 2 TB of space in a compact, purpose-built package.

Thin is something that will apparently never go out of style in the realm of consumer electronics. Seagate has long adhered to this idea with thinner and thinner hard drives, and continues in this vein with the launch at CES 2015 of the world's thinnest 500 GB portable HDD, the Seagate Seven.

For many, solid-state drives are the way to go because of the speed advantages they offer over traditional HDDs. But HDDs still hold the advantage when it comes to cost per GB. It's with that in mind that Seagate has started shipping the world's first 3.5-in HDD with a whopping capacity of 8 TB.

Seagate, which purchased Samsung's HDD division in 2011, has begun shipping the world's thinnest 2 TB hard drive. The Samsung Spinpoint M9T, which comes in a 2.5-inch form factor, measures 9.5 mm thick, giving notebooks a bit more storage space.
