• 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
• SAS & SATA 6Gb/s models for configuration flexibility

Innovation for Next-generation, High-density Data Centers: HGST delivers the world's first hermetically sealed, helium hard drive, the Ultra star He 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. In addition to being the world's first helium-filled hard drive, HGST Ultra star He is also the first hard drive in the industry to offer a 6-terabyte capacity. This design provides a 50 capacity gain and still reduces the energy needed to run the drive by up to 23 . TCOptimized - Driving Down Data Center TCO with Helium: The amount of data that companies need to store is growing exponentially, but IT budgets remain flat. With 6TB, a low 5.3 idle watts, a reduced weight of 640g, and running at 4-5 DegreeC cooler, the new Ultra star He lowers data center total cost of ownership on virtually every level. Technology Innovations Make it Happen: Through HGST's innovative and patented HelioSeal process, the Ultra star He6 drive is the industry's first hermetically sealed helium-filled HDD that can be cost-effectively manufactured in high volume. This unique sealed-drive platform provides a path for higher capacity storage for decades to come while significantly lowering customer total cost of ownership . The inherent benefits of helium enable HGST's new 7Stac disk design with 6TB, 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.
