HGST delivers the world’s first hermetically sealed, helium
hard drive, the Ultrastar® He⁶ for massive scale-out envi-
ronments. Why does helium make a difference? Helium has
only one-seventh the density of air. Replacing air with helium
inside a hard drive dramatically reduces the turbulence
caused by the spinning disks, cuts power consumption and
results in a lower temperature within the disk drive.
The reduction in turbulence for the spinning disk allows HGST
to deliver a seven-disk design in a traditional 3.5-inch form
factor. In addition to being the world’s first helium-filled hard
drive, HGST Ultrastar He⁶ is also the first hard drive in the
industry to offer a 6-terabyte capacity. This design provides a
50% capacity gain and still reduces the energy needed to run
the drive by up to 23%.
TCOptimized™ – Driving Down
Data Center TCO with Helium
The amount of data that companies need to store is growing
exponentially, but IT budgets remain flat. With 6TB, a low 5.3
idle watts, a reduced weight of 640g, and running at 4-5°C
cooler, the new Ultrastar He⁶ lowers data center total cost of
ownership (TCO) on virtually every level. Key TCO benefits
when compared to a typical 3.5-inch, five-platter, air-filled
4TB drive* include:
Through HGST’s innovative and patented HelioSeal process,
the Ultrastar He⁶ drive is the industry’s first hermetically
sealed helium-filled HDD that can be cost-effectively manu-
factured in high volume. This unique sealed-drive platform
provides a path for higher capacity storage for decades to
come while significantly lowering customer total cost of
ownership (TCO). The inherent benefits of helium enable
HGST’s new 7Stac disk design with 6TB, making it the world’s
highest capacity HDD with the best TCO for cloud storage,
massive scale-out environments, disk-to-disk backup, and
replicated or RAID environments.
HGST Quality and Service
HGST’s Ultrastar He⁶ extends the company’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 support and service 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.
