- Industry-leading high capacity
- Industry's best idle and active power efficiency
- Reliable, field-proven, 2nd generation HelioSeal process and 7Stac design
- Rebuild assist mode shrinks RAID recovery time and nearly eliminates system performance degradation during rebuild
Meet Ultrastar He8, HGST's second-generation hard drive based on the widely accepted and proven HelioSeal platform. Ultrastar He8 goes beyond what any other HDD can do using air and raises the standard for capacity and power efficiency in cloud and hyperscale data center environments.
Volume is expanding, operating costs are rising while budgets remain flat. Lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) has become the focus of data center architects. Through HGST's patented HelioSeal process, the Ultrastar He8 provides the best TCO value proposition by delivering the industry's highest capacity.
Cooler and quieter with industry-leading power efficiency (Watts/TB), the Ultrastar He8 lays the foundation for future growth in massive scale-out environments.
