## Long description

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC555 16 TB 3.5" Serial ATA III hard drive is designed for data center and enterprise use, offering high capacity, 7200 RPM performance and a 512 MB buffer in a 3.5" form factor. Built on proven Ultrastar platform technologies including HelioSeal® and a Triple-Stage Actuator, this HDD provides the reliability and low power profile required for continuous 24×7 multi-user environments.
Advantages
This drive delivers large capacity with energy-assisted perpendicular magnetic recording (ePMR) to help lower total cost of ownership by improving $/TB and operational expenses. The Triple-Stage Actuator increases tracks-per-inch (TPI) for higher density while maintaining low power consumption, and HelioSeal® technology reduces internal turbulence for one of the industry’s lower power profiles. Built from field-proven hardware and populated in thousands of data centers, the HC555 offers rapid qualification and integration for existing deployments and a projected MTBF of 2.5 million hours for dependable long-term operation.
