Traditional CMR magnetic writing Disks based on the solution provide an areal density of 2.2TB per platter. Thus, the Ultrastar DC HC570 HDD drive, which reaches 22TB, is obtained. The 26TB Ultrastar DC HC670 uses the SMR magnetic writing solution, which reaches 2.6TB per platter.
22TB Ultrastar DC HC570 HDD and 26TB Ultrastar DC HC670 UltraSMR HDD started sampling to select hyperscale customers. In addition, the 22 TB Ultrastar DC HC570 HDD drive will be included in the Ultrastar Data60 and Data102 JBOD storage solutions.
