“The Exos M hard drives are designed to address the growing needs of >AI-driven applications, big data analytics, and enterprise-level data >centers. One of the most significant breakthroughs is the 3TB per
platter areal density, which allows the drive to achieve an impressive
36TB capacity within a 10-platter design. This innovation enables 300%
more storage in the same physical footprint compared to
previous-generation drives, making it an ideal solution for
organizations facing space constraints.”

That is a monster sized hard drive.

3TB per platter, 10 platters, 36TB. The math checks out.

I like it. My biggest drives are currently just 18TB.
