• Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology for vibration protection

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Drives the Data Center Architecture

Data center decisions are driven by TCO. Higher capacity hard drives play a leading role in reducing TCO. An 16TB data center HDD provides 29% more capacity in the same form factor as a 14TB HDD. Higher capacity HDDs enable data centers to lower CapEx by reducing supporting hardware and system level costs when compared to lower capacity drives. Helium-sealed, low power, high reliability drives reduce energy and maintenance costs, contributing to OpEx savings. For example, a data center using 16TB HDDs vs. 14TB
HDDs requires 22% fewer racks while consuming 21% less power per TB at idle, resulting in significant overall TCO reduction for data center environments.

Enterprise-class Hard Drives

Ultrastar SATA Series

Ultrastar hard drives feature up to 10 times the workload rating of desktop drives and employ advanced technologies for enterprise-class reliability, power efficiency and performance.

• as compared to 55TB/yr workload rating on desktop-class drives

Delivering dependable performance to any storage environment, Ultrastar hard drives are designed with a workload rating up to 550TB per year, up to 10 times the rating for desktop drives. Ultrastar drives employ advanced technologies for enterprise-class reliability, power efficiency and performance.

• as compared to 55TB/yr workload rating on desktop-class drives
• Enterprise-class storage to rely on

With up to 2.5 million hours MTBF, Ultrastar hard drives deliver reliability and durability, are built for yearly operation (24x7x365) within the most demanding storage environments, and are backed with a 5 year limited warranty.

• HelioSeal Technology

Featured in over 30 million Western Digital hard drives shipped, HelioSeal technology (on 10TB drives and above) allows for higher capacities and less turbulence on large storage arrays. And now on its 5th generation design, HelioSeal technology is field-tested and proven to delivery high capacity, reliability, and power efficiency you can trust.

• Dual-stage Actuator Technology

Ultrastar drives feature a dual-stage actuator head positioning system for a high degree of accuracy. The primary stage provides course displacement while the secondary stage uses piezoelectric motion to fine tune the head positioning to a higher degree of precision.

• Dynamic fly height technology

Each read-write head’s fly height is adjusted in real time to ensure consistent performance for reduced errors and optimized reliability.
