Module description
Ultrastar® Data Center HC555 hard drives leverage field-proven technology to deliver the performance, capacity and reliability needed for data-intensive workloads in 24×7 data center environments. Western Digital’s energy-assisted perpendicular magnetic recording (ePMR) technology enables customers to grow capacities while lowering TCO (total cost of ownership) including both $/TB and OpEx. 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.
