The Ultrastar Archive Ha 10 and its subsequent SMR-based successors will consistently deliver the highest capacity with the lowest TCO.īased on the proven HelioSeal platform, the Ultrastar Archive Ha 10 leads the market in reliability and data integrity for active archive applications. HGST continues to address data growth and long-term data retention by investing in a multi-generational path of SMR-based HDDs with HelioSeal. It underscores the sustainability, applicability, and success of its HelioSeal technology with well over one million units deployed to date. The Ultrastar Archive Ha 10 is the third of HGST's helium-based HDDs launched in less than two years. Based on current customer data, HGST is projecting that this statistic will grow to more than 50 percent in the next five years. Currently, HGST estimates that active archive/deep archive applications are generating 20-35 percent of the data being stored today. The capacity enterprise HDD market is adapting to this shift, creating demand for purpose built drives, making the Ha 10 an ideal solution due to its capacity, data integrity and desired predictable performance. Today, many hyperscale cloud providers are discovering that most of their active archive applications are already sequential, creating the ideal environment for SMR HDDs to thrive. The sequential write behavior of host-managed SMR complements active archive workloads. Based on feedback from customers whose data center environments demand predictable performance and control of how data is handled, HGST has implemented a host-managed SMR solution. By overlapping or "shingling" the data tracks on top of each other, higher areal density can be achieved within the same physical footprint.
HGST recognizes SMR as core technology necessary in driving areal density increases. Ultrastar Archive Ha 10 Addresses Data Growth, New Market Segmentation With an industry-leading 10TB capacity, the Ultrastar Archive Ha 10 gives customers a time-to-market capacity advantage for archival environments and applications where data is sequentially written and randomly read, such as social media, cloud storage, online backup, life sciences as well as media and entertainment. This industry-defining product is the result of combining two complementary technologies - HGST's second generation,įield-proven HelioSeal platform and shingled magnetic recording (SMR) - to deliver unmatched storage density and power efficiency, without compromising reliability and performance predictability. The host-managed Ultrastar Archive Ha 10 SMR HDD sets a new standard in enabling the world's densest server and storage systems with unprecedented TCO levels. SAN JOSE, Calif., J/PRNewswire/ - Helping the world harness the power of data, HGST a Western Digital company (NASDAQ: WDC) today announced the first enterprise-class 10TB (terabyte) hard disk drive (HDD) for next-generation active archive applications.
