## Summary description

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC555 is a high-capacity internal hard drive with 14 TB storage, 7200 RPM speed, and a 512 MB buffer. Designed for enterprise applications, it offers reliable performance and durability. The 3.5" form factor and Serial ATA III interface ensure compatibility with a wide range of systems, making it ideal for data centers and high-demand environments.

## Long description

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC555 is a 3.5" internal hard drive offering 14 TB of raw storage on a Serial ATA III interface. Designed for enterprise and data center environments, this 7200 RPM drive features a 512 MB buffer and a platform optimized for continuous 24×7 multi-user workloads. The drive uses technologies such as energy-assisted perpendicular magnetic recording and a helium-sealed enclosure to increase areal density while reducing power consumption and operating costs.
Advantages
The Ultrastar DC HC555 combines large capacity with sustained rotational speed and a substantial cache to support heavy read/write demands. HelioSeal technology reduces drag and enables higher capacity per platter while delivering a lower power profile. Built-in rotation vibration sensors and multi-axis shock detection help maintain performance in rack-dense, multi-drive systems. The design leverages field-proven hardware and platform continuity to simplify qualification and integration into existing enterprise installations.
Suitable for
Enterprise data center storage arrays and servers
Cold and warm storage tiers for large-scale archival and backup
High-density storage enclosures and rack-mounted systems
Environments requiring continuous 24×7 multi-user access
When it may not be suitable
This drive is intended for enterprise-class infrastructure and may be excessive for typical consumer or desktop use where such capacity, thermal characteristics, and 24×7 reliability are not required. It is not a removable or portable storage solution and may not be ideal for laptops, compact desktop builds, or systems with strict low-vibration or acoustic limits if those systems are not designed for enterprise drives.
Key specifications
Form factor: 3.5-inch
Capacity: 14,000 GB (14 TB)
Interface: Serial ATA III (SATA 6 Gb/s)
Rotational speed: 7200 RPM
Cache buffer: 512 MB
Mean time between failures (MTBF): 2,500,000 hours
Weight: 0.679 kg
How to use
Install the Ultrastar DC HC555 into a compatible 3.5" drive bay or sled in a server, storage array, or NAS that supports SATA 6 Gb/s. Securely mount the drive following the system manufacturer’s guidelines, connect power and SATA data cables, and initialize the disk at the OS or RAID controller level as required. For optimal reliability, operate the drive within the host system’s recommended temperature, vibration and airflow specifications and follow typical enterprise maintenance practices such as monitoring SMART attributes and scheduling regular backups.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure your server, RAID controller or enclosure supports 3.5" SATA enterprise drives and 7200 RPM operation.
Confirm available drive bays, cooling capacity and power budget for a high-density deployment.
Evaluate whether a helium-sealed, high-capacity drive aligns with your performance, capacity and acoustics requirements.
Plan for backup, RAID configuration and compatibility with your storage stack and firmware policies.
Usage recommendations
Use this drive in purpose-built data center or enterprise storage systems where high capacity, continuous operation and low total cost of ownership per TB are priorities. Monitor drive health via SMART and integrate the drive into redundant storage configurations to protect against hardware failure.
