Relentless growth of data means organizations must find ways to efficiently store more data. That s where higher areal density comes into play with its ability to boost capacities while not increasing the storage footprint. The Ultrastar DC HC580 24TB1 HDD with OptiNAND technology is the next leap in data density allowing data centers to maximize their storage especially in footprint- and power-constrained environments. This 24TB1 drive combines several innovative technologies including energy-assist magnetic recording (EAMR) HelioSeal triple-stage actuator (TSA) improves TPI capability with greater control over the actuator arm improved OptiNAND Technology and ArmorCache . All this innovation comes on a 10-disk CMR drive delivering the performance quality and reliability that data center customers require and enabling a more efficient storage footprint.
