What does this have to do with hardware? Can that not be done on other hardware?
SkyHawk Health Management: Actively helps protect your surveillance storage by focusing on prevention, intervention, and recovery options. Includes RAID RapidRebuild—providing 3× faster volume rebuilds over traditional RAID rebuilds.
"We strapped an LLM to the hard drive and it tripled the write speeds!"

The health management is just an extension to SMART monitoring.
RapidRebuild is just a method for faster rebuilds than traditional reconstruction where some of the original data is still available and not everything needs to be reconstructed from parity data.
None of this uses AI, it's literally just marketing bullshit like calling the fuzzy logic in a rice cooker "AI"
What a sane system we live in where you have to disguise innovation under some trendy tech buzzword so some rich stockholder who doesn't know shit about fuck will have an incentive to fund it and keep it from disappearing.
It's not even disguising innovation. It's just calling existing technology that's been around for many years "AI" because it's a buzzword.
That doesn't even appear to be the case here, they're not even trying to say any of these features are AI enhanced. They're literally just marketing it as an AI hard drive because you can store datasets for an AI model on this hard drive. You know, like every other hard drive ever.
I don't think they're claiming that these drives use AI technology, it's more that they're specifically optimized for use in AI workstations. it's just a new specialized category of HDDs like surveillance drives, NAS drives, etc.
I don't think those hard drives are gonna like being encrypted
The AI won't like being locked away like Aladdin's genie. On the plus side if someone does encrypt them in there and you let them out you might get three wishes.
I guess the fast access comes from a cache storing previous accessed sectors. Fully encrypted drives usually distribute their data making the cache useless
