Description
Ultrastar® hard drives are specifically engineered for enterprise environments, offering up to 10 times the workload capacity of typical desktop drives. These drives integrate cutting-edge technologies to ensure enterprise-grade reliability, power efficiency, and high performance, making them an ideal choice for demanding business storage needs.
High Workload Capacity
Designed to perform reliably in any storage setting, Ultrastar hard drives achieve a remarkable workload capacity of up to 550TB annually, setting a high standard among 3.5-inch hard drives.
Reliable Enterprise-Grade Storage
As a premier solution for data centers, Ultrastar hard drives boast a 2.5 million hour MTBF, showcasing remarkable reliability and durability. Built to operate continuously (24x7x365) in the most challenging storage environments, these drives come with a 5-year limited warranty.
HelioSealâ„¢ Technology
Integrated in more than 30 million Western Digital units, HelioSeal technology enables increased storage capacity and reduced power consumption for large storage systems. Now in its fifth generation, HelioSeal is a proven technology that delivers exceptional capacity, reliability, and power efficiency, particularly effective for drives with 10TB capacity and more.
Vibration Protection
Enhanced Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology employs advanced electronics to monitor and adjust for linear and rotational vibrations, enhancing performance in vibration-prone environments compared to conventional desktop drives.
Dynamic Fly-height Technology
Each read-write head’s fly height is dynamically adjusted in real time, ensuring consistent performance, minimizing errors, and optimizing reliability.
Dual-stage Actuator Technology
Ultrastar drives incorporate a dual-stage actuator head positioning system to achieve exceptional precision. The primary stage enables coarse movement, while the secondary stage uses piezoelectric adjustments for highly accurate head positioning.
Comprehensive Compatibility Testing
All Ultrastar hard drives undergo rigorous testing across a wide range of popular OEM storage systems, SATA controllers, and host bus adapters to ensure seamless integration and plug-and-play capability.
