Re: Contradiction

Sloppy writing by me. Should have said pure 16TB drive. It can make the HC550 a 16TB drive by dropping a platter but WD guy said it was skipping pure 16TB drive level to go straight to 18TB and 20TB (with shingling). That's because it reckins it will be faster to market with 18 and 20TB drives than Seagate.
