Enterprises need a way to store this data for potential insights and it needs to do so without introducing too many new form factors. The Exos X14 keeps the same familiar 3.5” form factor but allows for even more storage. Seagate has achieved this through enhanced areal density. The new drive is said to offer the best power efficiency and performance for its class. Seagate Announces 14TB Helium HDD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
