Ultrastar Data Center HC690 hard drives combine field-proven designs with the latest innovative technologies to meet data center needs for increased storage density in existing storage footprint.
World’s first 11-disk SMR HDD platform delivers unbeaten capacity of up to 32TB1 to help quench customer’s insatiable demand for increased storage density in the existing storage footprint.
Leveraging field-proven hardware and firmware designs from generations of highly successful products ensures easy qualification, seamless integration and rapid adoption while maintaining superior dependability and reliability.
The higher storage density provided by our exclusive UltraSMR and energy-assisted Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (ePMR) technologies, which increase tracks-per-inch (TPI), allow data centers to maximize their storage efficiency.
Our exclusive Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) uses dual sensors to anticipate and counteract disturbances, maintaining peak performance in high-vibration environments. Combined with Dynamic Fly Height technology, Western Digital offers exceptional drive reliability and protection from unexpected shock events.
Western Digital’s proprietary OptiNAND technology leverages integrated iNAND embedded flash to perform key housekeeping functions, freeing up more capacity and improving the overall drive performance.
Choose ArmorCache write cache disabled (WCD) mode for increased random write performance or select write cache enable (WCE) mode to protect cached data in case of Emergency Power Off (EPO) or unexpected power loss scenarios.
The stable internal environment created by our HelioSeal technology enables this high-capacity helium drive to deliver one of the lowest power profiles in the industry.
