Seagate has launched 10TB helium hard drives targeting the enterprise sector. The hard disc drive (HDD) has already received orders from players such as Huawei and Alibaba.
Helium filling is expected to be the mainstream technology for making high-density hard drives for Seagate before the heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology becomes mature.
With Seagate's release of its 10TB HDD, competition in the segment is expected to grow fierce as Western Digital also launched its 10TB perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) HDD at the end of 2015.
