Larger platters of 7TB to 15TB are projected beyond 2031
Seagate has announced it has successfully developed 6.9TB platters in its laboratory, marking a significant milestone in future hard drive technology.
The company says these experimental platters more than double the capacity of those used in current commercial drives.
Outgoing models, such as Seagate's 30TB HAMR hard drives, use ten 3TB platters to reach maximum capacity.
