Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC680 26TB 3.5" SATA 7200RPM Data Center Hard Drive

Massive 26TB Capacity with UltraSMR Technology
Built on a 10-disk platform using Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR), the HC680 delivers 26TB of storage, making it ideal for sequential write-intensive applications like cloud storage, backup, and archival systems.

Enhanced Performance with OptiNAND and ArmorCache™
Integrates improved OptiNAND technology to optimize metadata handling and includes ArmorCache™, which boosts performance in write cache disabled mode while offering power loss protection in enabled mode.

Energy-Efficient Design with HelioSeal and eAMR
Uses helium-filled HelioSeal® technology and energy-assisted magnetic recording (eAMR) to reduce power consumption and improve areal density, helping data centers lower their total cost of ownership.

Enterprise-Grade Durability and Reliability
Engineered for 24/7 operation with a workload rating of up to 550TB/year and a projected 2.5 million hour MTBF, ensuring long-term dependability in demanding environments.

Advanced Vibration and Head Control Technologies
Features a second-generation Triple-Stage Actuator (TSA) for precise head positioning and Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) to maintain performance in high-density server racks.
