Ultrastar DC HC550 : High density storage

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC550 16TB hard drive is designed specifically for professionals in data centers. This 3.5″ hard drive offers numerous advantages for server use, including RVS anti-vibration technology, a workload rating of 550TB per year, and an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 2.5 million hours.

Part of the DC HC500 Series, this drive is available in capacities starting from 10TB. It is ideal for enterprise servers, backup systems, cloud environments, and enterprise NAS that require 4096-byte (4Kn) sector size for enhanced performance and high-density storage, leveraging HelioSeal technology.

DESIGNED FOR DATA CENTRES

The Ultrastar DC HC550 incorporates advanced multi-axis shock sensor technology, which automatically detects and compensates for minor shocks to safeguard the data stored on the drive. It also includes RAID-specific features, such as optimized error recovery processes that minimize downtime in RAID configurations.

Additionally, the drive utilizes ramp load/unload technology, which moves the recording heads away from the disk platters during idle periods and when powering down. This technology helps reduce wear and tear on the recording heads and media, enhancing overall drive reliability and longevity.
