Leadership performance
Ultrastar™ C10K600 is a 2.5-inch 10,000 RPM hard drive that leads the industry with 18% 
faster sequential and up to 15% random performance than the nearest competitor. The high-
performance SAS 6Gb/s interface delivers data reliability, availability and scalability and is the 
only small form factor SAS drive in the industry to pack a 64MB cache buffer to optimize the 
read/write response time.  
Best-in-class power performance
Power management innovations designed into the Ultrastar C10K600 enable industry-leading 
power efficiency and translate into reduced power requirements and lower cooling costs.  
Hitachi Advanced Power Management technology, with multi-state idle modes, maintains 
compatibility with T10 direction and can be pre-programmed or manually initiated in the sys-
tem. Compared to 3.5-inch 10K drives, the C10K600 consumes 70% less space and its small 
eco-friendly design enables reduced power consumption of up to 65%. Ultrastar C10K600 
continues the Hitachi tradition of environmental leadership with its halogen-reduced compo-
nents and focus on low power consumption, and carries the Hitachi EcoTrac classification.
Driving the small form factor transition
Ultrastar C10K600 delivers capacity parity with 3.5-inch 10K drives, providing a massive 
600GB of storage space and enabling lower total cost of ownership for many Enterprise 
environments, especially networked storage arrays. When faced with space and power limitations, 
the Ultrastar C10K600 is an efficient solution for online transaction processing, intensive 
data analysis and multi-user applications. Some models of the C10K600 also offer Bulk Data 
Encryption for hard-drive-level data security. These self-encrypting models are designed to 
the Trusted Computing Group’s Enterprise A Security Subsystem Class encryption 
specification and allow customers to reduce costs associated with drive retirement and 
extend drive life by enabling swift and secure repurposing of drives.
