HGST Ultrastar He8 HDD for Enterprise Server Data Center (Renewed)

The HGST Ultrastar HE8 8TB HDD is the world's first hermetically sealed, helium-filled hard drive designed for massive scale-out environments. The use of helium as the internal gas has several key advantages that make this drive a game-changer in the industry.

Helium, being only one-seventh the density of air, significantly reduces the turbulence caused by the spinning disks inside the hard drive. This reduction in turbulence allows HGST to utilize a seven-disk design in a traditional 3.5-inch form factor, delivering an industry-first 8TB capacity. The lower density of helium also results in lower power consumption and reduced internal temperatures within the drive.

In addition to being the world's first helium-filled hard drive, the HGST Ultrastar He6 is also the industry's first 6TB hard drive. This design provides a 50% capacity gain compared to previous generations, while still reducing the energy needed to run the drive by up to 23%.

The key advantages and highlights of the HGST Ultrastar HE8 8TB HDD include:

1. World's first helium-filled hard drive
2. Industry-first 8TB capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor
3. HelioSeal process and 7StacTM design enabling a hermetically sealed drive with higher capacity
4. TCOptimized design delivering on key elements of data center Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): capacity, power, cooling, and storage density
5. SATA 6Gb/s models for configuration flexibility
6. Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) options for HDD-level data security

The HGST Ultrastar HE8 8TB HDD is designed for a variety of high-density data center applications, including:

• High-density data centers
• Massive scale-out data centers
• Containerized data centers
• Nearline storage applications
• Bulk storage
• Enterprise and data center applications where density and capacity are paramount

With its 8TB capacity, 7200RPM rotation speed, 128MB cache, and SATA III 6.0Gb/s interface, the HGST Ultrastar HE8 8TB HDD is an enterprise-grade, heavy-duty internal hard drive designed for 24/7 reliable operation. It has passed factory diagnostic software testing and is RE-CERTIFIED by state-of-the-art software, ensuring a fully tested and reliable HDD with zero bad sectors.
