HDD Western Digital 24 TB 3,5 inch Serial ATA Ultrastar DC HC580

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC580 is a 3.5" Serial ATA enterprise hard drive with 24 TB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 512 MB buffer. Built for data center use, it combines improved OptiNAND technology, energy-assisted magnetic recording (EAMR), a triple-stage actuator and HelioSeal to deliver high areal density and low power consumption in a 10-disk CMR design. The drive is optimized for sustained heavy workloads and offers features intended to protect data integrity in critical environments.

Advantages

This 24TB Ultrastar DC HC580 drive provides high capacity in the standard 3.5" form factor while maintaining enterprise reliability with a projected MTBF of up to 2.5 million hours. OptiNAND-enabled ArmorCache improves write performance and offers enterprise-class power loss protection when write cache is enabled. Combined technologies such as EAMR, TSA and HelioSeal enable higher storage density with reduced power consumption for data center racks constrained by space or power.
