Times are changing as digital transformation initiatives have led to a tidal wave of data. As a result, storage has become one of the most critical components of keeping pace with this data revolution. It’s affecting companies of all sizes, especially hyperscale companies—such as the largest search, social, entertainment, and e-commerce companies in the world. Scaling efficiently and cost-effectively to meet data growth in a manner that is sustainable and environmentally friendly is paramount to their success

Western Digital announced that it is now shipping new 22TB¹ HDDs targeting three key segments: WD Gold HDDs for IT/data center channel customers; WD Red Pro for network attached storage (NAS), and WD Purple Pro for smart video/surveillance.

Embedded devices are generating an enormous surge of data. That should come as no surprise to anyone who works in the IoT space. What might be surprising is just how big this surge is.

The headline is “Western Digital Reimagines the Hard Drive.” Is that even possible? Can there really be something revolutionary in the hard-drive space? Apparently there is, as the company has come up with a flash-enhanced drive architecture that breaks traditional storage boundaries.

Is memory that’s aimed at a specific market really customized for that segment, or is it just marketing spiel? We have mobile memory, IoT memory, AI memory, and so on. Are they really different?

The arrival of 5G is expected to bring a dramatic increase in speeds, low latencies, and an unforeseen level of network capabilities.

Western Digital released its new Western Digital iNAND MC EU521, an embedded Universal Flash Storage (UFS) device.
