For primary storage chores, we've ditched the mechanical hard disk drive (HDD) and have moved on to faster solid state drives (SSDs), but don't go writing the HDD's obituary. Companies are still cranking out bigger capacities HDDs, none more capacious than Western Digital's new 15TB Ultrastar DC HC620.

This drive isn't intended for home consumers. Instead, WD has its sights set on cloud and hyperscale datacenters that need the kind of massive storage drives like these provide.
