"Seagate's first HAMR drives will feature a whopping 20TB capacity when
they debut later this year."

That there is one big hard drive.


That article had a link to an article from February that teased about the
possibility of an 80TB drive. Now we're getting somewhere.

Isn't one of the older file systems limited to 16 TB ? Or am I thinking
16 PB ?


You might be thinking of FAT32?

It was one of the Unix or Linux file systems from way back.

ext2 with 4k blocksize
I think ext2 is only used on USB flash drives nowadays
