The Ultrastar DC HC300-series provides low to mid-capacity drives that are economical to acquire, yet deliver quick and reliable data access for traditional data center applications.
IT managers need to offer storage tiers as they deploy purpose-built solutions to meet their on-prem, off-prem & cloud storage requirements
While helium filled drives enable the highest capacities, air-filled drives offer important benefits
With a lower TCA (total cost of acquisition), legacy options, and higher access density (IOPs/TB), they are the perfect choice for maintaining a desired level of performance while allowing customers to tailor budgets to meet their needs
The Ultrastar® DC HC300-series help to address data center requirements by providing capacities from 4TB to 10TB while increasing performance over prior generations
They are designed for a variety of applications including traditional storage arrays, rack-mounted storage enclosures and server-based distributed storage systems, as well as distributed and scalable computing, including block and file storage architectures
They are offered at 7,200 RPM with either 6Gb/s SATA or 12Gb/s SAS interface in Advanced Format 4Kn and 512e format
A 512n option is also available on 4TB models to support legacy systems with native 512-byte block sizes.
Ultrastar DC HC300-series are based on a proven and cost-efficient air-based HDD platform design, with Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) technology in a 3.5-inch large form factor
These HDDs leverage common hardware and firmware while featuring a second-generation, dual-stage microactuator to enhance head positioning accuracy for better drive performance
Write performance gains are also supported by Western Digital's media cache architecture, a disk-based caching technology that provides a large cache area on the disk, improving reliability and data integrity
Finally, the addition of a flash-based non-volatile cache (NVC) on both SATA and SAS models helps improve write performance.
WD RED 2.5 Inch Drive.
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. Designed from the ground up to be an ultra-robust storage device, Ultrastar drives are the perfect choice for your business.
The Ultrastar family delivers a long-standing tradition of reliability leadership with MTBF ratings of at least 2M hours and a 5-year limited warranty. Ultrastar quality, capacity, power efficiency, and world-class technical support and service help provide customers with a lower total cost of ownership.
Western Digital is dedicated to providing a complete portfolio of hard drives to create environments for data to thrive.
Delivering dependable performance to any storage environment, Ultrastar hard drives are designed with a workload rating up to 550TB per year, among the highest of any 3.5-inch hard drive.
With up to 2.5 million hours MTBF rating, 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.
Enhanced Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology uses sophisticated electronics to monitor the drive and correct linear and rotational vibrations in real-time for improved performance versus traditional desktop drives in high vibration environments
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.
