DATA SHEET
2.5-INCH SFF ENTERPRISE 10K RPM HARD DISK DRIVES
Leadership Performance
Ultrastar® C10K900 is a 2.5-inch 10,000 RPM hard drive
that leads the industry with 18% faster sequential and up
to 17% random performance than the nearest competitor.
The high-performance SAS 6Gb/s interface delivers data
reliability, availability and scalability and is the only small
form factor SAS drive in the industry to pack a 64MB
cache buffer for optimized read/write response time.
Best-in-Class Power
Performance
Power management innovations designed into the
Ultrastar C10K900 enable industry-leading power
efficiency, up to 28% better than competing drives, and
translate into reduced power requirements and lower
cooling costs. HGST Advanced Power Management
technology, with multi-state idle modes, maintains
compatibility with the INCITS T10 Technical Committee
standards direction and can be pre-programmed or
manually initiated in the system. Ultrastar C10K900
continues the HGST tradition of environmental leadership
with its halogen-reduced components and focus on low
power consumption.
Driving the Small Form Factor
Transition
Ultrastar C10K900 delivers a massive 900GB of storage
space and enabling lower total cost of ownership for many
enterprise environments, especially networked storage
arrays. When faced with space and power limitations,
the Ultrastar C10K900 is an efficient solution for online
transaction processing, intensive data analysis and multi-
user applications. Some models of the C10K900 also offer
Bulk Data Encryption for hard-drive-level data security.
These self-encrypting models are designed to the Trusted
Computing Group’s Enterprise A Security Subsystem Class
encryption specification and allow customers to reduce
costs associated with drive retirement and extend drive life
by enabling swift and secure repurposing of drives.
