Description

Corporate and cloud data centers are under extreme pressure to improve the efficiency of storage. To address this data center challenge, HGST introduces Ultrastar 7K6000, delivering plenty of capacity and a standard, 3.5-inch hard drive, for capacity-optimized enterprise applications. Ultrastar 7K6000 provides more capacity and better power efficiency. The Ultrastar 7K6000 also delivers great storage efficiency through the unrivaled performance, achieving higher write performance, even at higher workloads, thanks to HGST media cache architecture, a disk-based caching technology, which provides a large non-volatile cache on the disk. Media cache also allows for improved reliability and data integrity during unexpected power loss.

Special Features

• Incredible random write and sequential performance
• Reliable, field-proven 5-disk design
• Improved response time and data management

Product features

• Increasing capacity density
  Ultrastar 7K6000 delivers plenty of capacity in a standard, 3.5-inch hard drive, for capacity-optimized enterprise applications. Ultrastar 7K6000 provides more capacity and better power efficiency. The 7K6000 is designed for traditional and rapidly growing scale-out storage applications, including object, block and file storage architectures, providing huge capacity, fast 7,200 RPM performance and the optimal acquisition cost.
• The technology to improve storage efficiency
  Ultrastar 7K6000 also delivers great storage efficiency through its stunning performance, achieving higher random write performance, thanks to HGST media cache architecture, a disk-based caching technology, which provides a large non-volatile cache on the disk. Media cache also allows for improved reliability and data integrity during unexpected power loss. Other performance-enhancing feature is high areal density for faster sequential performance. The 7K6000 offers a 12 Gb/s SAS interface for easy integration into high performance data centers.
