Although some companies believe the end is nigh for hard disk drives, makers like Seagate and Western Digital disagree. In February 2025, we reported on WD's roadmap to the future of HDD technology which includes targeting over 100TB capacities in the not-so distant future.
Western Digital says that by 2026, its HDD capacity will reach 36TB-44TB thanks to HAMR, but before we see those drives arriving, the company has launched a new 26TB model at a surprisingly affordable price.
