Seagate unveils an SSD of 64 TB and 13 GB / s of speed

[OyaYansa]

During these days the Flash Memory Summit is celebrated in the United States, an event where the specialized brands in storage show their new products and some of those that are in development. Of all, the most positively surprised is Seagate, who has unveiled the SSD that we will all want to try next year.

True, it is still in development, but it promises a lot. It still does not have a definitive name, but we do know that it will arrive in PCIe card format. In this SSD, almost certainly the best of 2018, will be able to store up to 64 TB of data, and you will do it faster than ever thanks to its 13 GB / s maximum transfer speed.

Of course, this solid state drive is intended for data centers and not for base users, unless you are a person willing to leave a good part of your annual budget to increase the capacity of your PC. It is the same in the case of the Intel Optane, the other aspirants to get a good share of this flourishing market.

It is not the only product that Seagate has unveiled, although it is the most exciting. The other two are SSDs, but with "only" 2 and 15 TB capacities respectively, as well as speeds up to 2,200 MB / s. They remain quite impressive specifications for the moment we are in, although they are somewhat diluted by the spectacular performance of the other product that they have just overtaken.

SSDs are becoming more po[CENSORED]r, and rightly so. They offer a faster alternative to traditional HDD hard drives, though more unstable in the long run. Of course, considering that its longevity is sufficient for the entire life of a computer, it is the perfect choice for those who want to accelerate the operation of the operating system and certain programs especially heavy.

The demand for these components has made some of the materials necessary to manufacture them scarce. In theory, SSD prices should already be firing, but for some reason it is not. However it is not ruled out that they will get worse in the coming months.
