In today's digital age, data growth is rapidly increasing, and cloud-scale infrastructure is becoming essential for CSPs and big-data projects. In this environment, storage capacity, reliability, and power efficiency are crucial considerations. That's where Toshiba's Cloud-Scale HDDs with their innovative 9-disk Helium laser-sealed design come in.
One of the key features of these HDDs is their massive capacity. With up to 18 TB of Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) capacity, they provide ample storage space for data-intensive applications. Additionally, they are available in SATA or SAS models with 512e or 4Kn Advanced Format Sector Technology, making them adaptable to a range of infrastructure setups.
Enterprise-grade reliability is another significant feature of these drives. The Toshiba Persistent Write Cache Technology protects against data loss in sudden power-loss events in 512e models. This feature ensures the integrity of the data and provides peace of mind to users. Furthermore, the industry-leading mechanical design of the 9-disk HDDs provides superior storage density, making them ideal for cloud-scale infrastructure.
The Toshiba Precision Laser Welding Technology is also a noteworthy feature. It seals helium inside the 9-disk mechanics, reducing aerodynamic drag and delivering a lower operational power profile. This results in an excellent power efficiency (W/TB) that translates to lower operational costs and better TCO. This feature makes Toshiba's Cloud-Scale HDDs stand out from other storage solutions, providing a more energy-efficient and sustainable option for organizations.
The Cloud-Scale HDDs' lower TCO also translates into better profitability and efficiency for organizations. These drives consume less power and reduce cooling requirements, making them more cost-effective to operate. The drives' lower operational power profile also allows them to operate at lower temperatures, increasing their lifespan and decreasing the likelihood of drive failures.
Toshiba's Cloud-Scale HDDs provide reliable, power-efficient, and high-density storage capacity with significant TCO benefits for cloud-scale infrastructure. The innovative 9-disk Helium laser-sealed design, combined with enterprise-grade reliability and industry-leading mechanical design, ensures the drives are the ideal choice for organizations looking for cost-effective and energy-efficient storage solutions. With Toshiba's Cloud-Scale HDDs, CSPs and big-data projects can keep pace with rapid data growth and enhance their data storage infrastructure, ensuring they are ready for the future.
