Toshiba Corporation, according to network sources, will soon announce a new hard drive of large capacity.

It is reported that the drive will be able to hold 14 TB of information. About the number of plates and the type of interface used, nothing is said. But market participants believe that the SATA standard will be used.

It is known that the hard disk will be made on "helium" technology. Its essence lies in filling the hermetic zone with helium, which has seven times less density than air. This significantly reduces the turbulence caused by the rotation of the plates, reduces power consumption and decreases the temperature inside the storage tank.

Announcement of the new hard drive is expected before the end of this year. Information about the approximate price of the device at the moment, unfortunately, no.

Recently, Toshiba published a financial report on the work in the second quarter of this year. The company's net profit was 50.3 billion yen ($ 457.8 million), down 37% from the same period last year. Operating profit jumped six times to 96.7 billion yen ($ 880 million) due to an increase in semiconductor revenue four times.
