➀ Western Digital has teased a 128 TB SSD using BiCS8 QLC NAND, designed for AI data lakes and capacity-intensive applications. ➁ The BiCS8 NAND features 218 layers and a hybrid bonding scheme, suitable for Gen 4+ drives. ➂ The SSD's firmware is optimized for AI checkpointing, supporting sequential writes and simultaneous read operations.

➀ Western Digital announced a 128TB enterprise SSD using BiCS8 QLC NAND at FMS 2024. ➁ The company also introduced 8TB SD cards and a 16TB external SSD. ➂ WD showcased innovations in data center storage and consumer/client solutions.

1. Western Digital has announced the sampling of a 32TB hard drive using EAMR and SMR technologies, targeting hyperscalers. 2. The drive incorporates advanced technologies such as ePMR, triple-stage actuators, OptiNAND, and UltraSMR for enhanced capacity and reliability. 3. This move brings Western Digital's capacity on par with Seagate's 30TB Exos HDDs, although Seagate still leads in areal density.

1. Western Digital has introduced an 8 TB version of its SN850X SSD, doubling the top capacity. 2. The new drive uses a 4-channel controller and BiCS 5 112L NAND, offering peak read speeds of 7,200 MB/sec and write speeds of 6,600 MB/sec. 3. The 8 TB model comes with a price premium and is available both with and without a heatsink.

1. Western Digital's My Passport now offers a 6TB capacity, up from the previous 5TB. 2. The increase in storage comes with a significant price increase. 3. The 6TB model is thicker than its 5TB predecessor and slower compared to portable SSDs.

1. Western Digital has introduced the updated WD Blue SN5000 series SSDs, adding a 4TB model to its budget NVMe SSD lineup. 2. The new series features an in-house WD controller, supports PCIe 4.0 x4, and uses a mix of BiCS 5 TLC and BiCS 6 QLC NAND depending on the model. 3. Despite using QLC NAND, the 4TB model is touted to offer better performance and endurance than the lower capacity models.
