Product Features

• 20TB HDDs with OptiNAND Technology
  OptiNAND integrates an iNAND Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Embedded Flash Drive (EFD) with traditional spinning disk media, and incorporates innovative changes to the firmware algorithm and system-on-a-chip (SoC). OptiNAND is not a hybrid technology. The drive works smarter, with enhanced firmware algorithms taking advantage of expanded metadata that has been offloaded to the iNAND, enabling more tracks per inch (TPI), resulting in increased areal density. The Ultrastar DC HC560, with the implementation of OptiNAND technology's capacity-enabling features, delivers an unbeaten 20TB capacity in a nine-disk platform (2.2TB/platter) with CMR recording format.
• Trusted reliability and quality for data at scale
  The Ultrastar DC HC560 meets modern data center reliability requirements with 2.5M MTBF (projected). It offers security and encryption options to help protect data from unauthorized use, including SED models. Trust Western Digital and the Ultrastar DC HC560 hard drive to deliver the highest capacity and greatest value for your data center.
