How does high temperature affect your HDDs?
The internal temperature of a hard drive is an important factor not only in its correct functioning but also when it comes to the reliability and lifetime of a storage system. The mechanical components of the hard disk drive, especially the fluid-dynamic bearing of the platter-stack spindle, wear out faster at higher temperatures as the fluid oil leaks out at a faster rate. So, controlling the temperature of hard drives in storage systems is necessary to ensure optimal functionality and high reliability.
Lab Report: AIC JBOD “J4024-04-35X”
Compact, and easy to install and maintain, large scalable storage is the key building block for large-enterprise and scientific data centers as well as for cloud-scale computing. AIC has recently launched the fourth generation of its 4U 24-bay frontloader JBOD featuring a robust and reliable design, with no cables on the signal path. Toshiba Electronics Europe had the chance to evaluate a sample of the J4024-04 in the European HDD lab in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Hard drive requirements for video surveillance
The video surveillance market is booming. However, with the growing number of cameras and the higher resolution video streams, the demands on the storage solutions used are increasing. Hard drive manufacturers, as a result, offer special HDDs for video surveillance. Toshiba Electronics Europe explains what sets these drives apart.
Lab Report: Promise VTrak 5960 JBOD
Striving for climate neutrality and sustainability is key in modern data centers.
The new VTrak J5960 4U 60-Bay toploader JBOD from Promise is promoted as a “JBOD with green DNA”, including a commitment to environmental protection and sustainable production. Toshiba Electronics Europe had the chance to test and evaluate this JBOD in the lab, with 60 Toshiba Enterprise HDDs.
External games library avoids uninstalling games
Although current games often consume several dozen gigabytes of storage space, even the latest-generation consoles are only sparsely equipped with storage. If you don’t want to uninstall games you have grown fond of, or if you want to play them with friends without lengthy download times, your best option is an external gaming hard drive.
Storage Trends 2022
The overall amount of data being generated and subsequently stored has grown dramatically, beyond all expectations, and consequently, hard disk drives (HDDs) still play a vital role in the global storage business. In this article, Toshiba Electronics Europe outlines the key trends influencing the storage market in the upcoming year.
