Higher capacity hard drives play a leading role in reducing TCO.
An 16TB data center HDD provides 29% more capacity in the same form factor as a 14TB HDD.
Higher capacity HDDs enable data centers to lower CapEx by reducing supporting hardware and system level costs when compared to lower capacity drives.
Helium-sealed, low power, high reliability drives reduce energy and maintenance costs, contributing to OpEx savings.
