Industry's Best Capacity, Power Effi ciency and Reliability Delivers Value to the Data Center

Laying the foundation for a worry-free data center, Western Digital delivers an exceptional capacity hard drive for the enterprise - Ultrastar DC HC510, previously known as Ultrastar He10 and part of our HC500 series of helium-fi lled hard drives. Designed to handle workloads up to 550TB per year, the Ultrastar DC HC510 uses PMR technology and is the industry's fi rst 10TB drive that is drop-in ready for any enterprisecapacity application or environment. Based on fi eld proven, third-generation HelioSeal® technology, it offers one of the lowest power profi les in the industry to help data center architects meet eco-environmental goals and requirements. Targeted at 2.5M hours MTBF, the DC HC510 provides the highest reliability rating available of all HDDs on the market today by building on the successful design of its 8TB and 6TB predecessors. Trust Western Digital and Ultrastar DC HC510 to deliver more capacity, more effi ciency, more reliability and more value to your data center.

HelioSeal® Technology Helps Solve Challenges Facing Next Generation Data Centers

Data centers are facing growing pressures. Data volume is expanding, operating costs are rising, yet budgets remain fl at. Lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) has become the focus of data center architects and the Ultrastar DC HC510 provides the best value proposition and greatest storage effi ciency available. Compared to our 8TB air-fi lled drives, this HelioSeal hard drive provides 25% more capacity, uses 28% less idle power, is 43% more power effi cient (Watts/TB), and is 25% more reliable, rated at 2.5M hours MTBF. New features include a second-generation, dual-stage actuator- the Western Digital Micro-Actuator-enhancing head-positioning accuracy to deliver better performance, data integrity and overall drive reliability, especially in multi-drive environments where operational vibration is present. Refer to our technical brief to learn more. A choice of 6Gb/s SATA and 12Gb/s SAS interface enables easy integration into high performance data centers.

Data Durability and Security with Industry-Leading Quality and Reliability

As drive capacity grows beyond single-digit TBs, object storage systems with erasure coding provide better data durability compared to RAID systems, given its tolerance for simultaneous errors conditions. Ultrastar DC HC510 is a best-fi t for object storage implementations given its massive capacity and industry-leading reliability rating. Compliance and privacy requirements drive the need for increased data security. Ultrastar DC HC510 offers security and encryption options to protect data from unauthorized use, including a new option for TCG support on some SATA models.

Western Digital Quality and Service

Ultrastar DC HC510 extends Western Digital's long-standing tradition of performance and capacity leadership. The proven drive design enables high reliability and availability to customer data. Ultrastar quality, performance and world class technical service and support provides customers with a lower total cost of ownership over previous generations. Ultrastar drives are backed by an array of technical support and services, which may include customer and integration assistance. Dedicated to providing a complete portfolio of devices and systems, Western Digital products help create environments for data to thrive.

The ActiveScale 100X™ system is an integrated object storage solution that allows you to scale up from 840TB to 5.8PB (raw) and scal out to over 52PB (raw), so you can easily keep up with data growth and deliver on business objectives. For large-scale data that requires extreme data durability with easy and fast retrieval, the ActiveScale system is designed to facilitate "Data Forever" architecture for investment protection and ease of operation.

Delivering Economics and Access Speed to Data Center Applications and Workloads

As the industry evolves to develop purpose-built solutions for growing data storage requirements, IT managers continue to rely on mid-range capacity drives that are economical to acquire, yet deliver quick and reliable data access for traditional data center applications. Designed to handle workloads up to 550TB per year, the Ultrastar DC HC300 series is a proven air-platform design that delivers up to 8TB of capacity to help address the economic and access-density requirements of many data center workloads. Ideal for storage and server applications, as well as distributed and scalable computing (including block and file storage architectures), the Ultrastar DC HC300 series provides fast 7,200 RPM performance and lower acquisition cost to help ease budget constraints.
