The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC590 24TB is a cutting-edge data center hard drive designed to maximize storage density within the traditional 3.5-inch form factor. Leveraging the world's first 11-disk Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) platform alongside energy-assisted Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (ePMR) technology, it delivers exceptional capacity and reliability for demanding enterprise workloads.

This drive features a SAS interface optimized for high-performance data center environments and includes Security SE enhancements for secure deployment. It incorporates Western Digital’s proprietary technologies like Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) to minimize vibration impacts and Dynamic Fly Height to protect the heads during shocks.

Selectable cache modes allow users to balance between higher random write performance or cache protection during power outages. With a projected 2.5 million hours MTBF, a 5-year limited warranty, and a weight of only 670 grams, the Ultrastar HC590 is engineered for long service life and reliable operation.

Key benefits include:

• Industry-first 11-disk CMR platform for increased areal density


• Energy-assisted PMR (ePMR) for enhanced storage capacity


• Robust design with vibration and shock mitigation


• SAS interface supporting enterprise-grade performance


• Security SE features for data protection


• 5-year limited warranty ensures peace of mind
