The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC550 18TB is engineered for the most demanding data center and enterprise environments. As data volumes explode, the HC550 provides a massive 18TB of capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, utilizing industry-leading HelioSeal® technology and Energy-Assisted Magnetic Recording (EAMR) to ensure maximum density and reliability.
Built for more than just storage, the Ultrastar series is designed for constant, heavy-duty access in servers, NAS systems, and massive storage arrays.
HelioSeal® Technology: By sealing the drive with Helium, WD reduces internal friction and turbulence, allowing for higher capacities, lower power consumption, and cooler operating temperatures.
EAMR & Triple Stage Actuator (TSA): These technologies improve "writability" and head-positioning accuracy, ensuring your data is stored precisely even in high-vibration server racks.
Enterprise-Grade Reliability: Boasting a 2.5 million hour MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) and a 5-year limited warranty, this drive is built to run 24/7/365.
High Performance: A 7200RPM spindle speed combined with a massive 512MB cache ensures rapid data management and low latency for mission-critical applications.
