The WD Ultrastar DC HC550 is designed for data centers that prioritize total cost of ownership (TCO). With a massive 18TB capacity, this hard drive provides 29% more storage compared to traditional 14TB HDDs, all while maintaining the same form factor. Enhanced efficiency allows data centers to reduce capital expenditures by minimizing the need for additional hardware and system costs when upgrading to higher capacity drives.

This helium-sealed HDD not only ensures low power consumption but also boasts high reliability to maximize operational efficiency. Deploying 18TB drives leads to fewer required racks, enabling a 22% reduction in physical space, and 21% less power used per TB during idle periods, which translates to significant overall TCO savings for any data center.

Note: This unit is sold as single pack.
