As strange as it may sound, 1 TB of hard drive is no longer enough today, where files are heavier, whether from a simple cell phone camera recording, to demanding video games that take practically everything. the console or computer space. However, all that may end thanks to a new idea by Western Digitalsince they would be planning to carry almost 400 TB in a suitcase, which may sound like something impossible.
The device is named after Ultrastar Transporterbeing basically a simple way to transport 368TB hard drive within reach of an executive briefcase, this is intended to be used for seismic explorations or simply places where the internet is difficult to access. Those who attended the company's conference were surprised by the idea, since the space easily exceeds any computer that can be purchased commercially and even configured according to the user's needs.
Regarding the weight and space of this case, which itself carries many hard drives inside it, it has been mentioned that it will be approximately 13 kilos, so carrying it from one place to another will require effort on the part of the owner, that is what He adds that it also carries a 12-core CPU for data centers. And that could mean that it may not be released for commercial or home use purposes at the moment, that is, it could only be acquired by the world's large companies.
It is worth mentioning that no price has been given at the moment nor a release date. For its part, it is possible that there is a smaller version that can be acquired by the average user, but that is information that the company itself Western Digital granted in the following years.
Here is more information about the company:
