The Ultrastar 0F48155 DC HC570 incorporates a range of technologies in a 9-disk platform to create a new class of hard drives.
The 22TB capacity is achieved by combining technologies that enhance space density in conjunction with technologies that improve performance and reduce power consumption.
The Ultrastar DC HC570 22TB data center hard drive with OptiNAND technology is the next leap in data density. This 22TB data center hard drive enables an incredible 22.44 PB of raw storage in a standard rack.
This higher volumetric density allows data centers to maximize their storage, especially in footprint and power-constrained environments.
The Ultrastar DC HC570 combines many industry-first technologies in a 10-disk CMR unit, providing the performance, quality, and reliability that data center customers demand.
Ultrastar hard drives are designed for optimal power in various workloads. The DC HC570 features low-power sequential read/write and mixed random read/write workloads.
The Ultrastar DC HC570 is the 2nd generation platform with OptiNAND technology, which integrates an embedded flash drive (EFD) iNAND® Universal Flash Storage (UFS) with traditional spinning disk media.
Western Digital's leadership in 2.2 TB/disk area density extends to a new 10-disk platform, providing 22TB capacity with CMR recording format.
OptiNAND improves the unit's resilience in the event of an emergency power-off (EPO) by increasing the amount of non-volatile memory (NVM) available to flush critical metadata to iNAND.
