Western Digital 0F38755 HGST 20TB Ultrastar DC HC560 SATA 6Gb s SE 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive

Overview:

The Western Digital 0F38755 HGST 20TB Ultrastar DC HC560 SATA 6Gb/s SE 3.5″ Internal Hard Drive represents a pinnacle in storage technology, boasting an unprecedented capacity and cutting-edge features. With its OptiNAND technology, this hard drive pushes the boundaries of storage capabilities, providing users with unparalleled storage solutions.

At its core, the Ultrastar DC HC560 features a staggering 20TB capacity, making it ideal for applications requiring vast amounts of data storage. This remarkable capacity is achieved through a nine-disk platform, with each platter offering a capacious 2.2TB. This ensures ample storage space for demanding workloads, from enterprise-level applications to data-intensive multimedia projects.

OptiNAND technology stands as the hallmark feature of this hard drive. Unlike traditional hybrid technologies, OptiNAND integrates an iNAND Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Embedded Flash Drive (EFD) with the spinning disk media, enhancing performance and reliability without sacrificing capacity. Innovative firmware algorithms and system-on-a-chip (SoC) advancements optimize data management, resulting in increased tracks per inch (TPI) and enhanced areal density. This translates to improved read/write speeds and greater overall efficiency.

Despite its colossal storage capacity, the Ultrastar DC HC560 maintains a compact form factor, measuring 5.79″ x 4″ x 1.03″ and weighing a mere 1.52lbs. This ensures easy integration into existing systems without sacrificing valuable space.

In terms of compatibility, this hard drive supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Windows Server, and Linux, making it versatile for various computing environments.
