24TB data center HDD with OptiNAND™ technology

The relentless growth of data means organizations must find ways to efficiently store ever more data. The Ultrastar DC HC580 24TB¹ HDD with improved OptiNAND technology is the next step in high-capacity hard drives, allowing data centers to maximize their storage, especially in footprint- and power-constrained environments.

Keep up with exponential data growth

The 24TB¹ Ultrastar DC HC580 HDD with OptiNAND technology’s capacity-enabling features provides more efficient storage on a 10-disk CMR drive, enabling you to store more in the same footprint

Innovative technologies for higher capacities

Improved OptiNAND technology, energy-assisted magnetic recording (EAMR), triplestage actuator (TSA), and HelioSeal enable high capacity with low power

Performance and protection

ArmorCache is a feature enabled by OptiNAND that offers higher performance in write cache disabled mode and provides enterprise power loss protection in write cache enabled mode

Designed for data center workloads

The Ultrastar DC HC580 is performance-optimized to handle heavy application workloads of up to 550TB² per year.

Built with reliability in mind

This robust drive delivers dependability in intense data center environments with up to 2.5M hours MTBF³ (projected).

Quality and security

Provides additional peace of mind with a 5-year limited warranty

1. One terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less due to operating environment.

2. Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualized (TB transferred X (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations.

3. Projected values. Final MTBF and AFR specifications will be based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions, typical workload and 40°C device-reported temperature. Derating of MTBF and AFR will occur above these parameters, up to 550TB/year and 60°C (device-reported temperature). MTBF and AFR ratings do not predict an individual drive’s reliability and do not constitute a warranty.
