This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!

Having been burned many times in the past, I won't even trust 40 GB to a Seagate drive let alone 40 TB.

Even in enterprise arrays where they're basically disposable when they fail, I'm still wary of them.

So all the other hard drives will be cheaper now, right? Right?

That's pretty impressive a couple of those and you could probably download the next Call Of Duty.

Incoming 1Tb videogames. Compression? Who the fuck needs compression.

Why in the world does this seem to use an inaccurate depiction of the Xbox Series X expansion card for its thumbnail?

CAN WE PLEASE JUST GET 3.5" SSDS. PLEASE

I’ll finally have enough space for my meme screenshots.

If you aren't running a home server with tons of storage, this product is not for you. If the price is right, 40TB to 50TB is a great upgrade path for massive storage capacity without having to either buy a whole new backplane to support more drives or build an entirely new server. I see a lot of comments comparing 4TB SSDS to 40TB HDD's so had to chime in. Yes, they make massive SSD storage arrays too, but a lot of us don't have those really deep pockets.

Oh wow does it come with glowing green computery looking stuff like in the picture

I know people love to dunk on Seagate drives, but it was really just the one gen that was the cause of that bad rep. Before that the most hated drives were the "deathstars" (Deskstars). I have a 1TB Seagate drive that is 10 years old and still in use daily. Just do some research on which drive to buy, no OEM is sacrosanct. I'd personally wait 6 months to a year before buying one of these drives though, so enough people have time to find out if this generation is trouble or not.

Imagine how long it’ll take to rebuild your raid array after one fails lol

i remember bragging when my computer had 40gb storage

Imagine losing a 50tb drive because you choose to use Seagate.

Wow great. From seagate. The company that produces drives with the by far lowest life expectancy compared to the competiton

i can finally seed every spn season

If EA or Ubisoft don't get their shit together this won't be enough.

No thanks. I'd rather have 4TB SSDs that cost $100. We were getting close to that in 2023, but then the memory manufacturers decided to collude and jacked up prices.

thats a lot of porn high quality videos

I deal with large data chunks and 40TB drives are an interesting idea.... until you consider one failing

raids and arrays for these large data sets still makes more sense then all the eggs in smaller baskets

Ah yes. Seagate. The trash storage device company. If you want to burn your money, just throw it into a fire before buying this e-waste.

Can not recommend.

Hey! You! Get offa the Cloud (and grab yourself one of those drives). You can keep your thoughts to yourself, now you can keep your data to yourself, like in the recent old times.

I can't wait to upgrade my NAS to a 200Tb Setup

cool 50tb. i can now download more stuff.

Great, can't wait for it to be affordable in 2050.

I can't wait to lose even more data when this thing bricks

cool. now I can lose even more data when it dies.

no thanks...

Can't wait to see how these 40 TB hard drives, a wonderment of technology, will be used to further shove AI down my throat.

I have a 20TB seagate exos drive in my main pc and I hate it. Partly due to my case, but it’s noisy and does an obnoxious head reset (or whatever) every 7 minutes or so. It’s so loud.

Oh wow. Riveting

Oh thank God, 40,000 gigabytes was not enough
