Economics and Access Speed: Key Requirements for Low Capacity HDDs in the Data Center

As the industry evolves to develop purpose-built solutions for growing data storage
requirements, IT managers continue to rely on lower capacity drives that are
economical to acquire, yet deliver quick and reliable data access for traditional data
center applications. Designed to handle workloads up to 550TB per year, Ultrastar®
DC
HC320* is an 8TB1
HDD that helps address economic and access requirements of many
traditional IT workloads. Low capacity drives also help address architecture limitations.
Part of our mid-capacity DC HC300 series, the Ultrastar DC HC320 is designed
for traditional storage and server applications as well as distributed and scalable
computing, including block and file storage architectures, providing fast 7,200 RPM
performance and lower acquisition cost to help ease budget constraints. Ultrastar DC
HC320 is offered with either 6Gb/s SATA or 12Gb/s SAS interface in a choice of 512e or
4Kn formats.
