"Seagate's 14TB drives use standard PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic
Recording), which has been the industry's recording technology of choice
for nearly a decade. Seagate's next-gen 16TB models will mark the debut
of HAMR (Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording) technology, which uses tiny
lasers to increase storage density."

Good night, these hard drives are getting bigger by the minute. And not
cheap at a list price of around $600 each.

Still less than half of Samsung's 30TB SSD.

The price is so high that they don't list it. Price wasn't announced at
the time. Their 2-year older 15TB SSD sold for $10,000 USD.

And that's not the biggest SSD. I see Nimbus Data's ExaDrive DC100 has
100 TB of SSD storage but, again, no pricing schedule yet released.

So the mega-terabyte HDDs look cheap by comparison.
