HGST has announced that it is now shipping the highest capacity and highest performing 10K RPM hard disk drive (HDD) – the Ultrastar C10K1800. Based on HGST’s field proven high-quality design, the 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF), enterprise-class Ultrastar C10K1800combines high capacity with a significant improvement in both random write and sequential performance for mission-critical storage applications requiring 24/7 availability.
As the demand for enterprise-class storage grows, customers are increasingly seeking tiered storage infrastructures built along a range of raw IOPS performance, capacity and $/GB price efficiencies. While solid state drives (SSDs) and 15K HDDs fill a clear need in high performance solutions, the demand for 10K HDDs continues to be strong as customers seek better $/GB metrics.
“Our customers continue to contend with explosive data growth, balancing disparate application loads, while needing to improve data center space and power efficiencies. By fusing unmatched capacity with ultimate performance in the same drive, the Ultrastar C10K1800 offers the optimal balance of capacity, performance and cost. We expect our customers to use the Ultrastar C10K1800 with a complement of SSDs and 15K performance HDDs in tiered pools of storage,” said Brendan Collins, Vice President of Product Marketing, HGST.
Backed by customer endorsed, field-proven technologies and HGST’s commitment to quality, the new Ultrastar C10K1800 HDD family delivers leading enterprise-class specifications such as 2M hours MTBF, an annualize failure rate (AFR) of 0.44 percent and comes with a five-year limited warranty. Built for the modern tiered storage infrastructure, the Ultrastar C10K1800 joins HGST’s broad portfolio of enterprise-class PCIe, SSD, and HDD products.
