Purpose-built for Active Archive
As the world’s first enterprise-class 10TB HDD, HGST
launches Ultrastar Archive Ha¹⁰ to address the emerging
Active Archive segment in the capacity enterprise space.
Optimized for highest capacity at the lowest TCO, the
Ha¹⁰ provides unprecedented capacity leadership by
harnessing two core complementary technologies—
HelioSeal® and host-managed shingled magnetic
recording (SMR)—to deliver uncompromising quality and
reliable performance.
Preparing to use Host-Managed
SMR
Ultrastar Archive drives are designed specifically for
Active Archive environments and will not work as drop-in
replacements for traditional capacity enterprise drives.
To take advantage of the capacity and predictable
performance of host-managed SMR benefits, customers
will need to modify their end application or kernel space
to interface with new command sets, and data streams
must be sequentialized for writing to the drive. The
investments made in software changes will also help
enable future host-based SMR solutions, and provide a
path to future recording technologies.
Designed with the Customer
in Mind
At the core of its design, the Ha¹⁰ leverages the proven
and mature HelioSeal platform to deliver an unmatched
Watt/TB power footprint, ideal for ultra-dense scale-
out storage systems, with uncompromising product
reliability, necessary for private and public cloud
enterprise applications.
By combining host-managed SMR with HelioSeal,
Ha¹⁰ offers a 25% increase in capacity compared to
drives using perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR)
technology, while delivering a highly predictable,
highly reliable performance unseen in any other SMR
implementation. Because host-managed SMR enforces
the sequentiality of all incoming data and also provides
control at the host level, customers can now intelligently
tier their storage from hot-to-cold while maintaining a
consistent performance profile regardless of packet size,
number of data streams, or workload.
Active archive applications need maximum capacity,
low $/TB, and high data quality with consistent,
reliable performance as a secondary requirement. Ha¹⁰
meets all these needs and also delivers enterprise-
class characteristics for bit error rate, drive speed and
rotational vibration specifications.
