Highest storage capacity at low cost

Data center equipment decisions are driven by cost, and the Ultrastar DC HC550 with 14TB, 16TB and 18TB1 plays an important role in reducing operating costs.

Total cost of ownership (TCO) as a decisive factor for data center architecture
Data center equipment decisions are driven by cost, and higher capacity drives play a key role in reducing costs. An 18 TB drive offers 29% more storage capacity in the same form factor than a 14 TB drive. Higher capacity drives enable lower capital expenditures for data centers because less hardware is required and system costs are lower than using lower capacity drives. Helium-filled drives with low power consumption and high reliability reduce energy and maintenance costs, helping to reduce operating expenses. For example, using 18 TB drives instead of 14 TB drives requires 22% fewer racks and uses 12% less idle power per TB, resulting in significant savings in data center total cost of ownership.

More capacity with new technology
The Ultrastar DC HC550 establishes a new generation of hard drives with innovative technologies and nine magnetic disks. It offers 18 TB of storage capacity and combines technologies for higher data density with increased performance and reduced energy consumption.
