HGST Ultrastar HE10 3.5" 8TB, 7200 RPM, 256MB, SATA III Hard Drive, Enterprise

The HGST Ultrastar HE10 is an 8 TB internal hard drive designed for enterprise-level server and storage systems. It utilizes HelioSeal technology, which seals the drive with helium instead of air, enabling higher disk density, lower power consumption, and increased operational reliability. This 3.5-inch drive is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, making it a suitable component for high-transaction data centers and cloud storage applications. Its robust construction and component selection are specified to support long-term deployment in demanding physical environments.

Performance is facilitated by a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a large 256 MB cache, which together reduce data access times for frequently used data. Integrated Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors help maintain consistent performance in dense multi-drive arrays by actively mitigating the effects of system-induced vibration. For data management and security, the drive includes Instant Secure Erase (ISE) functionality for rapid data sanitization. These features, combined with end-to-end data protection and S.M.A.R.T. support, ensure data integrity and operational stability under heavy, sustained workloads.
