Western Digital Releases 24TB Ultrastar & Gold Hard Drives, 28TB SMR Drives Ramping

So, only Gold series is to be available in stores, which means just 24 TB CMR drive.

All drives are getting out in SATA version first, SAS is to follow later.

What is real technical difference between Gold and "Ultrastar" lines anyway ? ๐Ÿ™„

You can just switch the drive between the 2 modes in just a few seconds with a command.
