Default 10TB Hard Drive, can't even be accessed by modern OS's yet!

This is bull****. The OS has nothing to do with it, the drive firmware
does it and this process is invisible to the OS.

(Not having a go at you Yousuf, I know you're quoting an article posted
elsewhere)

The reason these are being aimed at the enterprise market is that SMR
(shingled magnetic recording) suffers from very slow write speeds due to
the overlapping tracks, making this sort of drive more suited to long-
term archival storage (e.g. in the cloud) than in a desktop or server
machine.
