HGST Company, for some time now part of Western Digital, recently demonstrated a sample of the new hard drive family HelioSeal , which is in the standard form factor of 3.5 "platters seven combined total volume of 10 TB. As always, to achieve a similar density , the plates of the hard drive are filled with helium. The company made it clear that the achievement of this volume involves a combination of helium environment technology tiled entry SMR. Samples of these hard drives have already received individual clients HGST. By the way, the company hopes that by 2017 half all sold in the corporate segment brand hard drives will be filled with helium.
Formally, a press release was devoted to the study of failure statistics exploited in the wild first million hard drives filled with helium allows the manufacturer to conclude that the mean time between failure of these products reached 2.5 million Hours. In a helium environment platters rotate with less vibration, which increases the reliability of mechanical parts. These hard drives are heated by 4-5 degrees Celsius less than usual. Platters in a helium environment unwind with less power, so this series drives more and more economical. Finally, sealed case provides protection against dust and moisture, allows the hard drives to operate stably at high altitudes. Reducing energy consumption through the use of helium allows to save the speed at 7200 r / min, which is beneficial to the speed of the drive.
HGST filled with helium drives family Ultrastar He6 volume 6 TB and Ultrastar He8 volume 8 TB. Related Products :
