it seems that data recovery for conventional hard drive will survive few more years.

title should have stopped early : "Seagate Breaks 1TB".

Quote:
Seagate did not say when the new, higher-capacity 7mm 2.5-in. drives would be available.

.. when they can get 5 in a row to last more than a month...

I find this statement unsettling:
Quote:
Combining new mechanical firmware architectures with state-of-the-art heads, media and electronic design, this technology is a real game changer


What's this new "mechanical firmware architecture". :? I would hope they might start shifting away from a platter based SA in favor of PCB based adaptive like Toshiba uses. That would certainly free up some platter space.

I still don't know why they are spending all this research $$ on mechanical instead of building Fabs for all this new solid state stuff like 3D

to me it is like getting an extra 3hp out of a full specced V8 engine.. nice for the Dyno graph, but whos gonna really notice.

I think they are trying to get as long a run as possible out of the old spinners before shutting down their entire production infrastructure. I'd bet they've got loans to still pay off on manufacturing equipment. Even billion dollar enterprises usually still run on debt.

Personally I'm happy to see it. Means we'll still have failed drives to be recovering data from for another 10 years. :D

Locked SA, for starters.
Those Grenadas with locked access to terminal and SA is just the tip of the iceberg...

You mean a few megabytes?
