HGST Ultrastar He6 3.5" 7200rpm 64MB SATA 6Gb/s (0F18335) - 6TB

Description:

Worldâ€TMs first helium HDD â€" Patented HelioSeal technology enables this new building block for future growth Industryâ€TMs first 6TB HDD â€" Innovative 7Stac disk design enables the worldâ€TMs highest capacity TCOptimized platform â€" Delivers higher capacity, lower power, cooler and quieter operation in a standard 3.5-inch form factor HGST delivers the worldâ€TMs first hermetically sealed, helium hard drive, the Ultrastar He6 for massive scale-out environments. Why does helium make a difference? Helium has only one-seventh the density of air. Replacing air with helium inside a hard drive dramatically reduces the turbulence caused by the spinning disk, cuts power consumption and results in a lower temperature within the disk drive.

The reduction in turbulence for the spinning disk allows HGST to offer a seven-disk design in a traditional 3.5-inch form factor. In addition to being the worldâ€TMs first helium-filled hard drive, HGST Ultrastar He6 is also the first hard drive in the industry to offer a 6-terabyte capacity. This design delivers a 50% capacity gain and still reduces the energy needed to run the drive by up to 23%.

Features:

• Highest capacity HDD on the market; 6TB, seven-disk design, providing the best TCO
• Lowest power consumption with best watts-per-TB- 23% lower idle power per drive - 49% better watts-per-TB
• Best density footprint in a standard 3.5-inch form factor - 50% higher capacity
• Lighter weight than a standard five-disk 3.5-inch drive - 50g lighter even with two more disks, offering 50% more capacity - 38% lower weight-per-TB
• Applications/Environments
• High-density data centers
• Massive scale-out data centers
• Containerized data centers
• Nearline storage applications
• Bulk storage
• Enterprise and data center applications where density and capacity are paramount
