Every day we wake-up to surprises in the technology world. well, this only goes to show that people are working hard round the clock to make life better and better for the world. Today we bring you the 10terabyte HDD, a product of linux.

This drive, better known as the 10TB SMR HelioSeal HDD, has been in the works since September 2014. To access these drives from Linux, a new device manipulation library had to be added: libzbc.

Its HGST uses 256MB bands. This means that when data is updated, the entire 256MB band must be read, modified, and rewritten. If the band has space available, the data is added to it. If it doesn’t, it’s placed on another band.

What looks like an ordinary HDD, which could fit into a drive bay on your PC. is not meant for your PC but your datacenter. Its price have not been fixed yet. It is believed that the company will begin sales of the 10TB in the second quarter of 2015.
