Ultrastar DC HC300 Series

Medium Capacity for High Access-Density Requirements
Ultrastar DC HC300 Series

OVERVIEW

Delivering Economics and Access Speed to Data Center Applications and Workloads

As the industry evolves to develop purpose-built solutions for growing data storage requirements, IT managers continue to rely on mid-range capacity drives that are economical to acquire, yet deliver quick and reliable data access for traditional data center applications. Designed to handle workloads up to 550TB per year, the Ultrastar DC HC300 series is a proven air-platform design that delivers up to the industry leading 10TB of capacity to help address the economic and access-density requirements of many data center workloads. Ideal for storage and server applications, as well as distributed and scalable computing (including block and file storage architectures), the Ultrastar DC HC300 series provides fast 7,200 RPM spindle speeds and is offered in either 6Gb/s SATA or 12Gb/s SAS interface with advanced format 512e3 sector size.

Disclosure

1. One megabyte (MB) is equal to one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,000MB (one billion bytes), and one terabyte (TB) is equal to 1,000GB (one trillion bytes) when referring to storage capacity. Accessible capacity will vary from the stated capacity due to formatting.
2. 512e models can be converted to 4Kn format
3. MTBF and AFR specifications are based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions for this drive model. MTBF and AFR ratings do not predict an individual drive's reliability and do not constitute a warranty.
4. Advanced Format drive: 4K (4096-byte)
5. Portion of buffer capacity used for drive 6. Projected performance. Actual performance may vary. 1MiB = 1,048,576 bytes (220), 1MB = 1,000,000 bytes (106)
7. Excludes command overhead
8. SATA models: 8K Queue Depth = 1 @ 40 IOPS, SAS models: 4K Queue Depth = 4 @ Max IOPS
9. Idle specification is based on use of Idle_A
