• Advanced Format 4Kn and 512e format

• Self-Encrypting Drive options

• Applications And Workloads

• Distributed file systems,like Apache Hadoop,to support Big Data analytics

• Rack-mounted storage enclosures

• Server based distributed storage systems

• Direct & Network Attached Storage (DAS & NAS)

• RAID

• Economical Capacities And Fast Data Access Key Requirements For HDDs In The Data Center

• 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 and512e format

• A 512n option is also available on 4TB models to support legacy systems with native 512-byte block sizes

• Technology Innovation Delivers Efficiency And Performance For Traditional And Legacy Systems

• 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

• Data Security With Trusted Quality,Reliability

• Compliance and privacy requirements drive the need for increased data security

• The Ultrastar DC HC300-series offers security and encryption options to help protect data from unauthorized use,including SED models in both SATA & SAS

• An SED-FIPS validated version is available in a SAS configuration

• The Ultrastar DC HC300-series extend Western Digital’s long-standing tradition of reliability leadership with a 2M-hour MTBF rating,workloads up to 550TB per year,and a 5-year limited warranty
