Ultra star He8 goes beyond what any air-based HDD can do and seamlessly integrates into virtually any mainstream enterprise environment. Cooler and quieter with industry-leading power efficiency (Watts/TB) and no-compromise performance, the Ultra star He8 lays the foundation for future growth in massive scale-out environments. TCOptimized - Increasing Storage Efficiency to Drive Down Data Center TCO. Ultra star He8 provides the best TCO value proposition and delivers greater storage efficiency with breakthroughs in capacity, power efficiency and best-in-class performance. This latest HelioSeal hard drive achieves up to 3X higher random write performance than the prior generation , Ultra star He6, thanks to HGST media cache architecture, a disk-based caching technology.
