Operating at 7200 RPM, Ultrastar 7K4000 offers better overall performance than slower RPM capacity-oriented drives, and does so at impressively low power-consumption rates. The Ultrastar 7K4000 can help data centers achieve lower AC power and HVAC requirements. With five Advanced Power Management modes, the 7K4000 achieves a 59% reduction in watts during low RPM idle mode, and uses less than 2W during standby/sleep modes, freeing up precious headroom for growing enterprise needs.

The HGST Ultrastar™ 7K3000 is the world’s first and only 7200 RPM hard drive rated at 2.0 million hours MTBF and backed by a five-year limited warranty. The Ultrastar 7K3000 represents the fifth-generation HGST 5-platter mechanical design, first introduced in 2004, and has been field proven by top server and storage OEMs as well as leading Internet giants.
When the highest quality and reliability are a top requirement, customer field data proves that the Ultrastar 7K3000 delivers by reducing downtime, eliminating service calls and keeping TCO to a minimum. Engineered for the highest reliability, the Ultrastar 7K3000 is not only put through grueling design tests during development but must also pass stringent ongoing reliability testing during manufacturing. Across the entire Ultrastar family,
world-class quality control, combined with scientific root-cause analysis and multi-faceted corrective actions, ensure that HGST remains the recognized leader in quality and reliability for enterprise-class hard drives.

The challenges for predictable performance and increased storage capacity are ever present in today’s data centers. Since not all data centers are created equal, the key to achieving increased data and system performance is in understanding the specific application workload. Lightning Mixed-Use 6Gb/s (SAS) SSDs offer solid I/O cost-toperformance benefits where quick access to data is vital.

The new Ultrastar SSD400S.B delivers high sequential throughput, up to 536MB/s read and 502MB/s write (6Gb SAS). The Ultrastar SSD400S.B also delivers up to 57,500 read and 25,500 write IOPS, reaching speeds 100 times faster than HDDs, allowing rapid access to “hot” enterprise data for improved productivity and operational efficiency.
Since less SSDs are required to achieve the same HDD IOPS performance, the new Ultrastar SSD400S.B family offers significant value in terms of IOPS per Watt, while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through low power consumption, efficient cooling and reduced space requirements.

The Ultrastar SSD800MM delivers high sequential throughput, up to 1200MB/s read and 700MB/s write (12Gb/s SAS). The Ultrastar SSD800MM also delivers up to 145,000 read and 70,000 write IOPS, reaching speeds >100 times faster than HDDs and double the speed of current 6Gb/s SSDs, allowing rapid access to “hot” enterprise data for improved productivity and operational efficiency. The Ultrastar SSD800MM family offers significant value in terms of IOPS per Watt, while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through low power consumption, efficient cooling and reduced space requirements.

HPE Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) delivers proven performance at industry leading capacities backed by high quality and reliability, preferred choice for many workloads ranging from small businesses to large enterprise.
HPE hard disk drives are optimized to deliver maximum performance on HPE server platforms, and are proven for applications that demand reliable performance in 24x7 operational environments. HPE HDDs offer customers great value per gigabyte without sacrificing performance. In addition, an industry-leading testing and qualification program ensures that our drives are rugged enough for any need.

SM1625 enterprise-class SSDs use specially engineered NAND flash memory to maximize write endurance, with up to 10,200 Terabytes Written in a random workload environment, providingmore than 170 times the endurance of a typical MLC-based SSD. This translates into long-lasting, sustained performance for your blade servers and enables outstanding reliability through the use of advanced wear-leveling and garbage- collection algorithms.

Enterprise applications have different storage workload requirements. Databases or virtualisation with a typically mixed read/write workload require the highest random read/write IOPS, ultra-low latency, and high endurance. Content streaming applications demand high sequential read throughput and high storage density at the lowest cost per gigabyte. The Nytro 3730 SSD Series offers a range of capacities up to 15 TB in a 2.5-inch form factor to increase enterprise storage density in data centres. It also enables lower TCO by offering endurance categories to match cost and performance requirements of all enterprise workloads

Reinforcing its strong market position in small form factor hard disk drives, Toshiba introduces a new high-performance, power-efficient enterprise class, 2.5-inch SAS hard drive offering industry leading storage capacity of 450GB. The MBF2-RC series drive features a 10,025 RPM spin speed, 6 Gb/sec SAS interface, and environmentally friendly low power consumption benefits.
