## Description

Laying the foundation for a worry-free data center, HGST offers the ability to conquer the data explosion - Ultrastar He12 HDD. Designed to handle workloads of up to 550TB per year, the Ultrastar He12 is the industry's first 12TB hard drive and uses PMR technology to make it ready for any application or enterprise environment. The stable internal environment created by fourth-generation HelioSeal technology enables a new 8-drive design, increasing capacity by 20% over the previous generation's 7-drive design. This highest capacity helium disk offers the industry's lowest power profile to help data center architects meet environmental goals and requirements. Targeted at an MTBF of 2.5 million hours, the Ultrastar He12 hard drive offers the highest reliability rating available of any hard drive on the market today based on the successful design of its 10TB, 8TB and 6TB predecessors. Trust HGST and the Ultrastar He12 hard drive to deliver more capacity, efficiency, reliability and value to your data center. This drive includes a Power Disable feature that allows the host system to easily power on the drive to perform a hard reset. Make sure your system will support this feature.

Review: This drive does not slow down even when completely full. - Used 3rd party software to check the integrity of the the hard drive and there were no bad sectors/blocks/bytes. These enterprise drives usually are only written on once, and spend the rest of their lifetime reading data.. meaning that they are in excellent condition and will usually outlast a brand new consumer grade drive. Been using this in my plex server and its been on for over 60 days straight with zero issues.
Review: Spin it - Great drive. Large capacity at 7200rpm slightly noisey at times but mostly quiet. Good Value
