HGST Ultrastar He8 8TB Enterprise Hard Drive

These HDD have been used by Datacenter Servers for approximately 5 years. The HDDs were refurbished and had their data wiped according to DoD standards. They have been fully tested and passed the HGST factory diagnostic software test. As these are heavy-duty enterprise HDDs with a 2.5M-hour MTBF rating, we are confident they can provide an additional 5 years of service. Buy with confidence, worry-free!

The HGST Ultrastar HE8 delivers the industry's first helium-filled hard drive, the Ultrastar He8, designed for massive scale-out environments. Helium's one-seventh the density of air, and replacing air with helium inside the hard drive dramatically reduces the turbulence caused by the spinning disks, cuts power consumption, and results in lower temperatures within the disk drive.

This reduced turbulence 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, the HGST Ultrastar He6 is also the industry's first hard drive to offer a 6-terabyte capacity. This design provides a 50% capacity gain while reducing the energy needed to run the drive by up to 23%.

Continuing this innovation, the Ultrastar He8 delivers the industry's leading capacity at 8TB, based on the widely accepted and proven HelioSeal platform. HelioSeal technology replaces air with helium, enabling a 7-disk design in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. The Ultrastar He8 goes beyond what any air-based HDD can do, seamlessly integrating into virtually any mainstream enterprise environment.

Cooler and quieter, with industry-leading power efficiency (Watts/TB) and no-compromise performance, the Ultrastar He8 offers a combination of high capacity, low power, and reliable operation. This enterprise-grade 3.5-inch hard drive is designed for server, NAS, and RAID system use, providing 8TB of storage capacity, a 128MB cache, and a 7200RPM rotation speed with a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface.

In summary, these refurbished HDDs, with their proven reliability and additional 5-year lifespan, deliver exceptional value. Coupled with the groundbreaking innovations of the HGST Ultrastar He8, enterprises can benefit from industry-leading capacity, efficiency, and performance in a trusted, heavy-duty storage solution.
