The He10 uses PMR technology and is the industry’s first 10TB drive that is drop-in ready for any enterprise-capacity application or environment. Based on field proven, thirdgeneration HelioSeal® technology, it offers the lowest power profile in the industry to help data center architects meet eco-environmental goals and requirements. Targeted at 2.5M hours MTBF, the He10 provides the highest reliability rating available of all HDDs on the market today by building on the successful design of its 8TB and 6TB predecessors. Trust HGST and Ultrastar He10 to deliver more capacity, more efficiency, more reliability and more value to your data center. HelioSeal® Technology Helps Solve Challenges Facing Next Generation Data Centers Data centers are facing growing pressures. Data volume is expanding, operating costs are rising, yet budgets remain flat. Lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) has become the focus of data center architects and the Ultrastar He10 provides the best value proposition and greatest storage efficiency available. Compared to 8TB air-filled drives, this HelioSeal hard drive provides 25% more capacity, uses 44% less power, is 56% more power efficient (Watts/TB), and is 25% more reliable, rated at 2.5M hours MTBF. New features include a second-generation, dual-stage actuator — the HGST Micro-Actuator — enhancing head-positioning accuracy to deliver better performance, data integrity and overall drive reliability, especially in multi-drive environments where operational vibration is present. Refer to our HMA technical brief to learn more. A choice of 6Gb/s SATA and 12Gb/s SAS interface enables easy integration into high performance data centers. Data Durability and Security with Industry-Leading Quality and Reliability As drive capacity grows beyond single-digit TBs, object storage systems with erasure coding provide better data durability compared to RAID systems, given its tolerance for simultaneous errors conditions. Ultrastar He10 is a bestfit for object storage implementations given its massive capacity and industryleading reliability rating. Compliance and privacy requirements drive the need for increased data security. Ultrastar He10 offers security and encryption options to protect data from unauthorized use, including a new option for TCG support on some SATA models. HGST Quality and Service Ultrastar He10 extends the HGST brand’s long-standing tradition of performance and capacity leadership. The proven drive design enables high reliability and availability to customer data. Ultrastar quality, performance and world class technical service and support provides customers with a lower total cost of ownership over previous generations. HGST drives are backed by an array of technical support and services, which may include customer and integration assistance. Dedicated to providing a complete portfolio of devices and systems, HGST products help the world harness the power of data. 10TB and 8TB | 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s and SAS 12Gb/s * VS. 8TB AIR DRIVES 25% 56% MORE CAPACITY* LOWER WATTS/TB* 25% MORE RELIABLE* DATA SHEET 3.5-INCH HELIUM PLATFORM ENTERPRISE HARD DISK DRIVES Ultrastar® He10 Features & Benefits Feature / Function How to read the Ultrastar model number Benefits Example: HUH7210xxAL420y = 7200 RPM, xxTB, 4Kn SAS 12Gb/s Capacity • 10TB and 8TB • 10TB provides 25% more capacity than 8TB drives Power Efficiency • Industry’s lowest Watts per terabyte (W/TB) • 56% lower idle W/TB than 8TB air drives Performance • • • • • • • • More accurate head positioning, especially in multi-drive environments, for better performance, data integrity and reliability • Maintains drive performance in high rotational vibration environments and multi-drive systems • Better random write performance • Dramatically improves RAID recovery time and maintains system performance during recovery • Provides compatibility with high-performance data centers • Improves response time and data management HGST Micro-Actuator Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) NVC Quick Cache (SAS only) Media cache architecture Rebuild Assist mode SATA 6Gb/s & SAS 12Gb/s 256MB cache buffer Reliability • • • • Data Security • Instant Secure Erase • New TCG option for SATA models Dual safe firmware Electronic Depop 2.5M hours MTBF2 and 0.35% AFR2 5-year limited warranty H = HGST H = Helium (vs. S for Standard) 42 = Interface, 4Kn SAS 12Gb/s (52 = 512e SAS 12Gb/s, E6 = 512e SATA 6Gb/s, N6 = 4Kn SATA 6Gb/s) 72 = 7200 RPM 0 = Reserved 10 = Full capacity — 10TB (10,000GB) y = Data Security Mode 0 = Instant Secure Erase 1 = Self-encrypting Drive (SED)* 4 = Secure Erase (overwrite only) 5 = TCG encryption with FIPS (SAS) U = Ultrastar xx = Capacity this model (10 = 10TB, 08 = 8TB) A = Generation code L = 26.1mm z-height * Bulk Data Encryption+TCG (SATA), TCG (SAS) One MB is equal to one million bytes, one GB is equal to one billion bytes and one TBequals 1,000GB (one trillion bytes) when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity will vary from the stated capacity due to formatting and partitioning of the hard drive, the computer’s operating system, and other factors. 2 MTBF and AFR targets are based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under median operating conditions.
