When will it be commercially available though? Supposedly Seagate has had 30TB drives out for the better part of a year, but I can’t find anything larger than 24TB actually available for purchase.

I’ve been waiting for a 32TB to become available as well, Seagate announced that drive last year and it’s still not available outside data centers. I suspect the WD one will be the same.

I’d guess that they’re commercially available but only for hyperscalers - large companies like Google, Amazon (AWS), etc that need a huge amount of storage.
