Ultrastar He6 series
HGST, now part of the Western Digital, has announced that it is currently shipping the 6TB Ultrastar He6 HDD that has been developed in cooperation with leading OEM, cloud and research companies including HP, Netflix, Huawei Unified Storage, CERN, Green Revolution Cooling and Code42 and many others.
First introduced back in September 2012, HGST's HelioSeal platform provides a path for higher capacity storage for decades to come while significantly lowering customer total cost of ownership (TCO). By using helium, which is one-seventh the density of air, the new Ultrastar He6 drive features HGST's innovative 7Stac disk design with 6 TB, making it the world's highest capacity HDD with the best TCO for cloud storage, massive scale-out environments, disk-to-disk backup, and replicated or RAID environments.
The rest of the specifications include a low 5.3 idle watts, a reduced weight of 640g, and 4-5°C cooler HDD which provides much better TCO when compared to a standard 3.5-inch, five-platter, 4TB HDD.
