Description

The self-encrypting 18TB Ultrastar® DC HC550 HDD and 20TB Ultrastar® DC HC650 HDD, meet or exceed data center performance and security requirements. Both HDDs incorporate sixth-generation HelioSeal® and Energy-Assisted Magnetic Recording technology. EAMR allows for high media precision and increaesed areal density. The host-managed SMR Ultrastar® DC HC650 rpovides data centers with the highest capacity HDD. Higher capacity translates to lower CapEx. Lower power consumption contributees to OpEx savings. A 2.5M hours MTBF, means both HDDs provide high reliability for mission critical environment
