I have a 20TB seagate exos drive in my main pc and I hate it. Partly due to my case, but it’s noisy and does an obnoxious head reset (or whatever) every 7 minutes or so. It’s so loud.
These drives aren’t for home desktops, they’re more for server setups with large datasets and redundancy. Lol why do you need a 20tb drive in your main PC?
I have 4 x 20tb drives in a true as where I have backups, movies, music, network accessible for the whole house.
Is it a mechanical drive?
Show me a 40tb ssd lol
How about a 122.88tb SSD? Large SSDs are pretty common in the enterprise market and arguably much easier to manufacture since you only need to put a bunch of nand chips on a pcb.
Sure, but those that know of this, know that these news articles aren’t talking about ssd. This is hype news for consumer stuff.

Yeah Exos are enterprise drives, so there’s no point in making them quiet like they do with lower speed desktop stuff.
