Data Sheet 6 ® Ultrastar He 3.5-Inch Helium Platform Enterprise Hard Disk Drives Key Advantages/Highlights Innovation for Next-generation, High-density Data Centers • World’s first helium-filled hard drive 6 HGST delivers the world’s first hermetically sealed, helium hard drive, the Ultrastar® He 1 • Industry-first 6TB capacity in a standard for massive scale-out environments. Why does helium make a difference? Helium 3.5-inch form factor has only one-seventh the density of air. Replacing air with helium inside a hard • HelioSeal™ process and 7Stac™ design are drive dramatically reduces the turbulence caused by the spinning disks, cuts power keys to hermetically sealed drive with higher consumption and results in a lower temperature within the disk drive. capacity • TCOptimized™ design delivers on key The reduction in turbulence for the spinning disk allows HGST to deliver a seven-disk elements of data center TCO: capacity, design in a traditional 3.5-inch form factor. In addition to being the world’s first helium- power, cooling and storage density 6 filled hard drive, HGST Ultrastar He is also the first hard drive in the industry to offer a • SAS & SATA 6Gb/s models for configuration flexibility 6-terabyte capacity. This design provides a 50% capacity gain and still reduces the energy needed to run the drive by up to 23%. • Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) options for HDD-level data security TCOptimized™ – Driving Down Data Center TCO with Helium Applications/Environments The amount of data that companies need to store is growing exponentially, but IT • High-density data centers budgets remain flat.

This unique sealed-drive platform provides a path for higher capacity storage for decades to come while significantly lowering customer total cost of ownership (TCO). The inherent benefits of helium enable HGST’s new 7Stac disk design with 6TB | 7200 RPM 6TB, making it the world’s highest capacity HDD with the best TCO for cloud storage, massive SATA 6Gb/s and SAS 6Gb/s scale-out environments, disk-to-disk backup, and replicated or RAID environments. * Measurements shown reflect improvements when comparing SATA models of a 4TB Ultrastar 7K4000 and 6TB Ultrastar He6 Features and Benefits Feature / Function Benefits Capacity 6TB Highest enterprise capacity hard drive available in an industry-standard 3.5-inch form factor TCO HelioSeal Platform Delivers 50% higher capacity with 23% lower power, 30% quieter, 4ºC cooler and 50g lighter weight Performance 7200 RPM High performance for business critical applications Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) Maintains drive performance in high rotational vibration environments and multi-drive systems 2 Reliability 2.0M hours MTBF Industry’s highest reliability rating for Capacity Enterprise hard drives Thermal Fly-height Control (TFC) Better soft error rate for improved reliability and performance with internal thermal sensor Head load/unload Protects disk during non-operation SMART command transport Adaptive error correction Power Improved Watts per gigabyte (W/GB) 49% lower W/GB than 4TB air-filled drives Acoustics 2.0 Bels (Idle) 30% quieter operation than 5-platter, 4TB 3.5-inch air-filled drives Security Optional Bulk Data Encryption (SATA) Encrypt private data, providing security and easy redeployment and TCG Enterprise_A (SAS) ™ HelioSeal ® 6 Ultrastar He HGST Quality and Service Specifications 6 HGST’s Ultrastar He extends the company’s Model # / Part # HUS726060ALA640 / 0F18335 HUS726060ALS640 / 0F18370 HUS726060ALA641 / 0F20572 HUS726060ALS641 / 0F20577 long-standing tradition of performance and capacity leadership.
