The Ultrastar He12 Helium HDD
The Ultrastar He12 is Western Digital’s fourth-generation helium HDD, featuring an industry-first eight-disk design, to deliver 12TB capacity using PMR technology in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. The Ultrastar He12 Helium HDD is also the world’s highest capacity hard drive for active random workloads. The 12tb capacity is achieved using the HelioSeal technology which utilizes helium with 1/7 the density of air enabling the use of thinner disks and still maintain a stable recording interface. The Ultrastar He12 is perfect for any application that requires massive amounts of cost-effective storage.
Watch the see the technology behind the Helium Platform Enterprise Hard Drive.
Ultrastar He12 Helium HDD Features
