Taipei City, Taiwan – December 21, 2021 – QSAN Technology Inc., a leading pioneer in storage solutions, is delighted to announce the newest immutable storage solution featuring Western Digital’s freshly announced Ultrastar 20TB HDD with OptiNAND technology and JBOD with QSAN WORM.
WORM as Trusty Protection Utility
QSAN WORM, which stands for “write-once-read-many,” is a unique built-in protection utility that prevents data from deletion, modification, and ransomware attack by prohibiting both removal and revision of data once written. WORM enables customers to archive files, bookkeeping data, and sensitive records for compliance purposes. SMEs can ensure data integrity and enjoy full protection with this high-security feature.
Western Digital Introduces Large-Capacity Models
WORM means fewer accidents of deletion, but also requires for a much greater expansion of storage since it generates more files during version control. Western Digital’s HDD and JBOD, designed for big data and backups, promote capacity growth without the need for additional servers and put enterprises’ worries of overloading storage to rest.
“The release of OptiNAND revolutionizes the HDD as well as the development of drive technologies. We are always driven to deliver the best solutions to our customers, and are pleased to announce our collaboration with Western Digital,” says Phil Tai, Product Management Director of QSAN.
Western Digital’s latest 20TB HDD with OptiNAND technology reimagines brand new horizons of capacity, performance, and reliability. With a whopping 20TB of storage, WD’s new HDD offers far more capacity than that of a PC, and is suitable for heavy-duty applications such as business databases, smart surveillance, and multimedia.
