Data growth with a smaller footprint
The explosive data growth driven by AI/ML, 5G networks, IoT, connected vehicles, and more is also causing data centers to expand. Innovations in hard drives enable the capture, storage, analysis, and protection of many of these data. Higher-capacity hard drives offer greater data density, allowing for expanded and more efficient data centers.
22 TB to expand the data center
The Ultrastar DC HC570 22TB hard drive for data centers with OptiNAND technology represents the next breakthrough in data density. This 22TB hard drive enables an incredible 22.44 PB of raw storage in a typical rack. This higher volume density allows data centers to maximize their storage space, especially in environments with limited space and power consumption.
The Ultrastar DC HC570 combines several industry-leading technologies in a CMR drive with 10 platters, delivering the performance, quality, and reliability that customers need in data centers.
Low power consumption for lower operating costs
Ultrastar hard drives are designed for optimal performance across a wide range of workloads. The DC HC570 stands out for its low power consumption during sequential read/write workloads and various random read/write workloads.
Benefits of OptiNAND technology
The Ultrastar DC HC570 is the 2nd generation platform with OptiNAND technology.

The Ultrastar DC HC570 comes from Western Digital's server series. The drive is allowed to read or write 550 TByte per year within the scope of the warranty, ten times the capacity of a simple desktop model. The maximum speed of 290 MByte/s is not reached at the edge, but at 10 per cent of the capacity - in practice, this is not noticeable...
