Internal Hard Disk Drives

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) provides a superior storage solution. With some storage requirements escalating and others becoming more complex, factors such as flexibility, performance, increased reliability, greater density, security, scalability and accessibility are more critical than ever. Today's organizations consist of different kinds of environments. Enterprise data centers must be online almost 24X7, fulfill requests from numerous users simultaneously, and allow for constant growth and expansion while in operation. Other customer environments require high capacity storage and high data availability for low I/O environments. HP's portfolio of SAS drives meets all these demands.

NoTouch Ramp Load technology
The recording head never touches the disk media, ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.

Low power consumption
State-of-the-art seeking algorithms and advanced power management features ensure low power consumption

Tested for compatibility
We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.

Upgrading your drive is easy
Seamlessly migrate your current system to your new Western Digital drive using Acronis® True Image™ WD Edition software, available as a free download on the Western Digital Support site. This software enables you to copy all your data to a new drive so you don't have to reinstall your operating system to get all the benefits of a new drive.

The Western Digital® advantage
Western Digital puts our products through extensive Functional Integrity Testing (F.I.T.) prior to any product launch. On average, each new product goes through 600,000 hours of testing. Western Digital also has a detailed Knowledge Base with more than 1,000 helpful articles. You can also call toll-free support 7 days per week in the U.S. and Canada. See the Western Digital Support site for full details. Recommended use - WD Desktop hard drives are tested and recommended for use in PCs, industrial applications and external enclosures.

Ultrastar DC HC500 Series
High Capacity for Massive Data and Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Driving Up Capacity and Driving Down TCO for Cloud and Hyperscale Data Centers
The breadth and depth of Big Data is driving the universal need for higher capacities across a broad spectrum of applications and workloads. Laying the foundation for a worry-free data center, Western Digital delivers the capacity to conquer the data explosion with the Ultrastar DC HC500 series of hard drives. Built using HelioSeal technology, the industry’s only fifth-generation helium platform, the DC HC500 series is designed for public and private cloud environments, where storage density, Watts/TB and $/TB are critical for creating the most cost-efficient infrastructure. HelioSeal technology is key to achieving higher drive capacities, greater reliability ratings and extreme power efficiency. The result is a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for our cloud and enterprise customers.

Beyond Air. Helium Takes You Higher.
Responding to the complex needs of the modern data center, Western Digital has developed HelioSeal technology, a foundational building block for high-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs). This innovative technology hermetically seals the HDD and replaces the air inside with helium, which is one-seventh the density of air. The less dense atmosphere resets the boundaries and challenges of conventional high-capacity HDDs, allowing for dramatic increases in efficiency, reliability and value.

Higher Capacity
12TB CMR HDD, drop-in ready for capacity-optimized workloads

Lower Power
52% lower idle Watts/TB than 8TB Ultrastar air-filled drives

More Reliable
Unbeaten MTBF rating for an HDD at 2.5M hours
