Ultrastar DC HC500 Series
High Capacity for Massive Data and Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Driving Up Capacity and Driving Down TCO for Cloud and Hyperscale Data Centers
The breadth and depth of Big Data is driving the universal need for higher capacities across a broad spectrum of applications and workloads. Laying the foundation for a worry-free data center, Western Digital delivers the capacity to conquer the data explosion with the Ultrastar DC HC500 series of hard drives. Built using HelioSeal technology, the industry’s only fifth-generation helium platform, the DC HC500 series is designed for public and private cloud environments, where storage density, Watts/TB and $/TB are critical for creating the most cost-efficient infrastructure. HelioSeal technology is key to achieving higher drive capacities, greater reliability ratings and extreme power efficiency. The result is a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for our cloud and enterprise customers.

Beyond Air. Helium Takes You Higher.
Responding to the complex needs of the modern data center, Western Digital has developed HelioSeal technology, a foundational building block for high-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs). This innovative technology hermetically seals the HDD and replaces the air inside with helium, which is one-seventh the density of air. The less dense atmosphere resets the boundaries and challenges of conventional high-capacity HDDs, allowing for dramatic increases in efficiency, reliability and value.

Higher Capacity
12TB CMR HDD, drop-in ready for capacity-optimized workloads

Lower Power
52% lower idle Watts/TB than 8TB Ultrastar air-filled drives

More Reliable
Unbeaten MTBF rating for an HDD at 2.5M hours

Toshiba’s 3.5-inch S300 Surveillance Hard Drive is designed and tested for 24/7 reliable surveillance, built for speed, capacity, and longer content retention. Capture and analyse every frame from up to 64 video cameras in high resolution with the S300. Space is important to continually capture a history of video evidence over a period of time. With up to 10 TB you get the capacity to record and play back the events in real-time in high resolution and with object identification and face recognition.

BUILT TO PERFORM
With up to 10 TB of storage capacity and support for up to 64 video cameras, the S300 ensures mission-critical surveillance continually records. Real-time drive performance allows higher-resolution video recording and streaming and longer content retention.

CAPTURE EVERY FRAME, ANALYSE EVERY DETAIL
When analyzing security footage, you can't risk any frame drops. That's why your storage has to provide ultimate performance to detect rapid movements, record the smallest details, and perform face recognition. The S300 has been designed to meet your specialist demands and is built for 24/7 reliability and high-performance to help you never miss a thing.

DESIGNED AND TESTED FOR COMPATIBILITY
The S300 has been designed and tested to support up to 64 high resolution cameras, allowing flexible scalability for your security camera systems. Compatible with DVR, NVR, video servers and video management systems for around-the-clock security, the surveillance never sleeps – so that you can.

INDUSTRY-LEADING PERFORMANCE
A 256 MB buffer and high transfer rates meet the demands of surveillance data from higher-resolution camera streams. Improved real-time drive performance is achieved through Toshiba's Dynamic Cache Technology optimizing read and write cycle cache allocation through an on-board cache algorithm and buffer management.

INTEGRATED RV SENSORS
Regular hard disk drives without RV sensors can affect the performance of a multi-bay system by generating 'knock-on' vibration. The S300 ensures high reliability by minimising vibration effects through their advanced control and sensing technology. Multiple sensors detect the slightest shock and built-in RV sensors also compensate for rotational vibration - eliminating the possibility of 'knock-on' vibration in multi-bay surveillance systems.

HIGH ENDURANCE, HIGH RELIABILITY
The high-endurance, high-performance components of the S300 withstand harsh environments for superior reliability. High-temperature environments trigger optimized seek speed to support lower power consumption while automatically reducing noise and vibration emissions. Up to one million hour MTTF (Mean time to failure) and 180 TB per year workload rating provide peace of mind when operating security camera systems.

BUILT TO DELIVER, DESIGNED TO LAST
Toshiba is renowned the world over for 50 years of leading innovation – and the power behind its range of hard drives is no exception. Designed for high capacity and excellent performance, you can be sure that Toshiba’s wealth of experience in hard drives is at work in your storage system. A three year extended warranty is also included with the S300 for the ultimate peace of mind.
