They announced their newest addition to their HDD lineup: a 22TB model for Western Digital Hard Drives Red Pro, Purple Pro, Gold, and Ultrastar. Each of Western Digital’s HDDs comes equipped with OptiNAND technology for capacity-enabling features. And we at Exxact are offering Western Digital storage systems. Added storage is a step in the right direction for HDDs in a space where NVMe SSDs and cloud storage are becoming the norm.
