60-Bay Hybrid Storage Platform | The Next Generation Hybrid Platform for Software-Defined Storage

Designed for High Density and Flexibility

The Ultrastar Data60 is a key element of next-generation disaggregated storage and software-defined storage (SDS) systems, delivering high density and the flexibility to balance performance with cost. The Ultrastar Data60 provides up to 720TB of raw storage in a compact and efficient form factor. HGST HelioSeal® drives ensure cool running, quiet operation and high reliability. A high performance data tier can be set up for demanding applications by using SSDs in up to 24 of the drive slots, enabling the ability to serve both fast data and big data from a single platform.

Building on 50+ Years of Storage Design Experience

Conventional dense disk shelves frequently suffer from performance degradation due to induced vibration from adjacent drives. Traditional platforms also have cooling challenges as the cooling air passes over successive rows of drives, losing effectiveness as it gets heated up along the airflow path. Developing storage devices and platforms side-by-side, we address these challenges through vertical innovation, a set of technologies developed based on a holistic view of devices, platform, and their interactions. The first two of these patented technologies are IsoVibe™ and ArcticFlow™. IsoVibe reduces vibration-induced performance degradation, while ArcticFlow overcomes the cooling issues by introducing cool air into the middle of the platform. Both these technologies contribute to long-term reliability, enabling our five-year limited warranty on the entire platform.

Designed for the Enterprise and the Cloud

This new platform addresses the demanding storage needs of large enterprise customers, storage OEMs, cloud service providers and resellers/integrators that require dense, shared HDD or hybrid storage. The Ultrastar Data60 provides the flexibility to specify the HDD and SSD combinations to balance capacity, performance and cost.

When data centers need storage expansion that delivers low power and high capacity with high-availability, they rely on the HGST 4U60G2 Storage Platform. This high density, scalable, and cost-effective design includes up to 60 Ultrastar® 3.5-inch drive modules in a 4U enclosure, supports up to 8 hosts with SAS 12Gb/s performance, and delivers enterprise-class serviceability with hot-swappable components.

This integrated platform is qualified, tested and certified to support a broad range of HGST HDDs. It's available with SAS drives for high-availability (HA) applications, with SATA drives for cost-optimized applications, and can be configured with up to twelve (12) 800GB SSDs to create separate performance tiers within the platform.

The HGST 4U60 Storage Enclosure is a high-density, scalable, and costeffective design, up to 60 Ultrastar® 3.5-inch drive modules (in multiples of 12) in a 4U enclosure. It offers 2x2x4-lane SAS 12Gb/s performance, high availability (HA), and hot-swappable components. The design is targeted towards data centers that need a dense solution with HA capabilities, while maintaining a low power profile.
