HGST Launches 1.2TB, 10K RPM Hard Drive
HGST today announced a high-capacity 10,000 RPM, enterprise-class hard drive - the Ultrastar C10K1200.
The new 2.5-inch Ultrastar C10K1200 features a SAS 6Gb/s interface, a 64MB cache buffer for optimized read/write response time, and a 10K rotational speed for high-performance computing.
As the only 1.2TB 10,000 RPM enterprise-class SAS hard drive in the industry, and one with a 2.0 million hours mean time between failure (MTBF) specification, the Ultrastar C10K1200 is a reliable solution for 24x7 enterprise applications such as data mining/analysis, business processing and timely delivery of data-intensive content-on-demand such as multiple channels of streaming video. The 1.2TB Ultrastar C10K1200 drive delivers 33 percent more capacity in the same 2.5-inch form factor, giving IT managers the ability to now store 28.8 TBs in a 2U, 24-bay rackmount server. The Ultrastar C10K1200 drive also helps datacenters achieve lower AC power and HVAC requirements. With HGST Advanced Power Management technology, with multi-state idle modes, the Ultrastar C10K1200 uses less than 5W during idle mode.
HGST's Ultrastar 10K performance HDDs are also designed to be plug-compatible with Ultrastar solid state drives. This allows IT managers to swap an SSD with a 10K hard drive in order to effectively scale and tier applications, as SSDs provide the best IOPs/watt for reducing TCO, while 10K performance drives are more cost effective from a dollar-per-GB and capacity-performance perspective.
Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motors deliver a low acoustic rating and improved data integrity, while Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology anticipates and counteracts disturbances that can occur in multi-drive configurations. In addition, the Ultrastar C10K1200 uses HGST-patented head load/unload ramp to minimize integration induced drive damage.
For added data security, select models of the Ultrastar C10K1200 offer Bulk Data Encryption for hard drive-level data security. These self-encrypting models are designed to the Trusted Computing Group?s Enterprise A Security Subsystem Class encryption specification.
The new 2.5-inch Ultrastar C10K1200 hard drive is shipping today.
