Seagate plans to release a batch of 12TB HDDs to ‘pilot customers’ this quarter. The information comes from Seagate’s CEO that mentioned the 12TB disks during an earnings call.

So after just releasing their 10TB drives, Seagate plans to soon release 12TB drives. I just spent a lot of money buying a bunch of Toshiba 6TB X300 drives and most of them haven't been used yet and they are already obsolete, oh well...
Hopefully, this aggressive push by Seagate will lead to more higher capacity drives from other manufacturers and at lower prices.
