![Seagate to sell 8TB HDD for $260](https://cdn.afterdawn.fi/v3/news/seagate-archive-8tb-hdd.jpg)
This drive is build simply for storage though so that doesn't matter all that much, and at $260 it would be a nice purchase for an NAS.
The hard drive will start selling mid-January.
The extra capacity and low cost are achieved with Seagate's SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) Technology. Here is a video explaining it.
