HUA723030ALA640 - Hitachi Ultrastar 7K3000 3TB 7200RPM SATA 6GB/s 64MB Cache 3.5-inch Hard Disk Drive

Delivering Industry-leading Quality and ReliabilityThe HGST UltrastarTM 7K3000 is the world's first and only 7200 RPM hard drive rated at2.0 million hours MTBF and backed by a five-year limited warranty. The Ultrastar K3000represents the fifth-generation HGST 5-platter mechanical design, first introduced in 2004,and has been field proven by top server and storage OEMs as well as leading Internet giants.When the highest quality and reliability are a top requirement, customer field data provesthat the Ultrastar 7K3000 delivers by reducing downtime, eliminating service calls andkeeping TCO to a minimum. Engineered for the highest reliability, the Ultrastar 7K3000 isnot only put through grueling design tests during development but must also pass tringentongoing reliability testing during manufacturing. Across the entire Ultrastar family,world-class quality control, combined with scientific root-cause analysis and multi-facetedcorrective actions, ensure that HGST remains the recognized leader in quality and reliabilityfor enterprise-class hard drives.Increasing Capacity Density by 50%Recent measures such as data de-duplication and thin provisioning have not been able tostem the explosive petabyte (PB) growth requirements in cloud storage and data centers.Pervasive Internet computing with remotely stored email, pictures and social media, allbeing accessed from light-weight tablet and notebook computers, is changing consumerexpectations. Ongoing worldwide government data retention regulations and securityrequirements are also driving up data center and private cloud storage needs. At the sametime, tile space and megawatts remain at a premium, while in some highly built-outmetropolitan areas both are at an absolute 'no-growth' state. To meet these demands, theUltrastar 7K3000 delivers 50% more capacity in the same footprint and does so at a 32%reduction in watts/GB versus our prior generation Ultrastar A7K2000 product. It is nowpossible to achieve a colossal 1.8 PB in the footprint of a standard 19-inch enterprise storagerack by stacking ten 4U, 60-bay enclosures.Offering Choices of Interface and EncryptionThe HGST Ultrastar 7K3000 is the first HGST 7200 RPM drive available in both 6Gb/s SATAand 6Gb/s SAS interfaces and also available in two encryption options. The Ultrastar 7K3000SATA model integrates easily with legacy SATA and Fibre Channel to SATA environments.The Ultrastar 7K3000 SATA model is available with a bulk data encryption (BDE) option.The Ultrastar 7K3000 dual-port SAS model is targeted at emerging 6Gb/s SAS enterpriseinfrastructure and is available with industry standard TCG Enterprise_A encryption. Whenenabled, both of these hardware-based implementations encrypt all data on the drive usinga private security key as it is written to the disk, and then decrypt it with the key as it isretrieved, giving users an extreme level of data protection. These security options not onlyprotect sensitive data but also reduce the time and effort involved in re-deploying harddrives since without the key, the data is unrecoverable.
