HGST Ultrastar Hs14 is a 14TB 3.5″ Internal Drive

By

A week ago, I wrote about the new 12TB drive from Seagate that was a single 3.5″ drive. But check this out; Western Digital also announced a 14TB 3.5″ drive, the HGST Ultrastar Hs14. The new HGST drive was actually announced last week as well (thanks Oberoth).

The storage industry is scaling like crazy. Every time a new barrier is passed, I can’t help but reminisce about my first Gateway 2000 computer with a 4GB hard drive from 1998. Of course, everyone that had a home computer in the 90s thought that we would never fill all the space on a 4GB drive.

Don’t expect the 14TB capacity to stand at the top of the mound for long though. Seagate has an 16TB planned for 2018 and expects to launch 20TB drives in 2020. As we continue to shoot higher resolution images and video though, we’ll fill these up faster than we would have previously expected.

You can geek out on all the specs for the new Hs14 here on Extremetech.

New Photography-Themed Hoodies for Fall

By

We’ve had several photography t-shirts available in recent months and now we’ve got a few hoodies to offer just in time for cooler weather. These hoodies are available exclusively on Peanut Butter Camera in the US, as well as internationally. We have happy customers from Canada to South Africa and Israel to Australia, along with many other countries across the globe!

Our most popular designs have been the 70-200mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.4 lens technical drawings, which feature the optical formulas for these classic lenses. Additionally, the Education is Important but Photography is Importanter t-shirts have been a big hit and it’s now available on a hoodie as well. You can find our new photography hoodies here at Peanut Butter Camera.

Of course, we still have our popular t-shirts available as always here on Peanut Butter Camera. Many of the shirts on Peanut Butter Camera are available in sizes up to 5XL. You can also find some Peanut Butter Camera t-shirts on Amazon.com in the US, which offers free shipping for Prime customers (or for orders over $25 for non-Prime customers).

Personally (and I may be somewhat biased here), I think the quality of the shirts from Peanut Butter Camera are slightly better because we have more control over the entire process, but I have plenty of our shirts from Amazon.com in my own closet and am very happy with the Dark Heather Gray color and fabric for our designs.

Thanks for making Peanut Butter Camera a success! Please continue to spread the word by sharing this post with your photography friends and drop a hint or two for your own gift ideas….
