Step aside, boring 14TB hard drives. There’s a new storage champion in town: Western Digital has announced a new 15TB Ultrastar DC HC620 HDD that takes the crown as the biggest hard drive yet, via SlashGear.

The new drive beats out Western Digital’s 14TB model that it announced last year and Seagate’s recently announced 14TB lineup. Seagate did announce last year that it was planning to release a 16TB drive in 2018, which would have topped the old 14TB drives as well as the new 15TB Ultrastar, but there hasn’t been any word on the 16TB drive since that initial announcement.
