Description
High Performance
The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC550 (Model Number: 0F38482) is a high-performance hard disk drive (HDD) that is designed for use in data centers and other high-performance storage environments. It has a storage capacity of 18 terabytes, which is equivalent to 18,000 gigabytes and uses the SATA-6 Gbps interface to connect to a computer or other host device.
This hard drive is built with Western Digital’s advanced technologies such as HelioSeal technology which hermetically seals the drive to protect it from environmental elements such as dust, humidity, and temperature changes. It also features a dual-stage micro actuator which improves the drive’s head positioning accuracy, and StableTrac which secures the motor shaft at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking.
It is optimized for high-density storage, high workloads, and low power consumption, making it an ideal solution for data centers, cloud storage, and other demanding enterprise applications. The drive is also designed to deliver high performance and density, with low power consumption and vibration.
Additionally, it has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2.5 million hours, which is a measure of the drive’s reliability and indicates that the drive is designed to last for many years of continuous use.
