HGST Ultrastar He8 delivers the world’s first hermetically sealed, helium hard drive, ideal for massive scale-out environments. Why does helium make a difference? Helium has only one-seventh the density of air. Replacing air with helium inside a hard drive dramatically reduces the turbulence caused by the spinning disks, cuts power consumption and results in a lower temperature within the disk drive. The reduction in turbulence for the spinning disk allows HGST to deliver a seven-disk design in a traditional 3.5-inch form factor.

Key Advantages/Highlights
World’s first helium-filled hard drive
Industry-first 6TB capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor
HelioSeal process and 7Stac design are keys to hermetically sealed drive with higher capacity
TCOptimized design delivers on key elements of data center TCO: capacity, power, cooling and storage density

Applications/Environments

High-density data centers
Massive scale-out data centers
Containerized data centers
Nearline storage applications
Bulk storage
Enterprise and data center applications where density and capacity are paramount
