Seagate begins shipping its 10TB helium-filled hard drives

We first learned about Seagate's 10TB Enterprise Capacity hard drive back in January, and now the company reports that it's shipping these monster drives "in volume." In particular, the company says its partners at Supermicro and Ciara are incorporating these 10TB spinners into their mass-storage products for the data center, like Supermicro's four-rack-unit, 90-bay JBOD chassis for 3.5" drives. Fill that baby up with 10TB Enterprise Capacity drives, and you'd have nearly a petabyte of unformatted storage to work with.
