60TB hard drives arriving in 2028 according to industry roadmap — HDD capacity forecast to double in four years


HDD capacity set to double in four years.

The arrival of energy-assisted magnetic recording (EAMR) technologies like Seagate's HAMR will play a crucial role in accelerating HDD capacity growth in the coming years. According to the new IEEE International Roadmap for Devices and Systems Mass Data Storage, we will see 60 TB hard disk drives in 2028. As hard drives will remain at 7200 RPM, IEEE does not expect any tangible seek time or rotational latency improvements over the coming years.
