## Summary description

The HGST Ultrastar He8 3.5" HDD features an 8000GB capacity with a SAS interface. It includes twelve internal data counters ensuring high reliability and performance. With a speed of 7200 RPM and a 128MB cache, this hard drive is ideal for data center management and storage.

## Long description

The HGST Ultrastar He8 3.5" HDD provides 8000GB of raw storage capacity in a helium-filled 3.5-inch form factor with a SAS interface designed for enterprise storage environments. Intended for use in servers and data center arrays, this hard drive combines a 7200 RPM rotational speed with a 128MB cache and advanced internal monitoring through twelve internal data counters to support sustained throughput and data integrity under heavy workloads.
Advantages
The helium-filled design reduces internal turbulence and mechanical drag, enabling higher areal density and improved power efficiency compared with air-filled drives. A 7200 RPM spindle speed and 128MB cache help maintain consistent read/write performance for large sequential transfers and mixed workloads. Integrated internal data counters and enterprise-grade manufacturing provide enhanced reliability metrics and support predictable operation in RAID and clustered storage systems.
Suitable for
Enterprise-class storage arrays and SAN/NAS systems
High-capacity archival and cold storage pools
Database servers and virtual machine hosts with heavy sequential I/O
Backup and disaster recovery repositories
Key specifications
Form factor: 3.5-inch
Capacity: 8000 GB (8 TB)
Interface: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
Rotational speed: 7200 RPM
Cache memory: 128 MB
Helium-filled enclosure for reduced friction and higher areal density
Enterprise-class internal monitoring with multiple data counters for reliability tracking
How to use
Install the drive in a compatible 3.5-inch bay on a server or storage chassis that supports SAS connectivity. Ensure that the host controller and RAID firmware support enterprise SAS drives and that drive firmware is up to date according to your storage vendor's instructions. For RAID deployments, follow the recommended rebuild and verification procedures provided by your RAID controller to integrate the drive into arrays and to monitor SMART and vendor-specific health attributes during operation.
Usage recommendations
Use the drive within the operating temperature and vibration limits specified by your system vendor, and implement regular monitoring of SMART attributes and the drive's internal counters to detect early signs of degradation. For best results in high-density arrays, pair with compatible enterprise-class controllers, keep firmware current, and follow recommended airflow and mounting practices to preserve long-term reliability.
