Delivering industry-leading quality and reliability
HGST Ultrastar™ 7K4000 is the world’s first 4TB 7200 RPM hard drive with a 2.0 million hours 
MTBF specification and backed by a full 5-year warranty. Ultrastar 7K4000 represents the 
sixth-generation HGST 5-platter design, which has been field proven by top server and storage 
OEMs and Internet giants. Engineered for the highest quality, the Ultrastar 7K4000 is put 
through grueling design tests during development and must pass stringent ongoing reliability 
testing during manufacturing. Ultrastar 7K4000 delivers by reducing downtime, eliminating 
service calls and minimizing TCO.
Increasing capacity density by one third
To deal with the explosive petabyte (PB) growth, data centers require large amounts of 
efficient storage. Reducing W/GB without expanding floor space is vital to lowering operating 
costs. To meet these demands, Ultrastar 7K4000 delivers 33% more capacity in the same 
footprint at 24% lower W/GB than its predecessor, Ultrastar 7K3000. Now you can get 2.4 
PB in the footprint of a standard 19-inch enterprise storage rack by stacking ten 4U, 60-bay 
enclosures. Ultrastar 7K4000 is an Advanced Format drive, using 4096-byte sector size to 
provide enormous capacity earlier than otherwise possible for environments optimized for this 
technology. Advanced Format drives are backwards compatible with legacy 512-byte sector 
size by offering built-in 512-byte emulation through the SATA interface.
Combining 7200 RPM performance and granular power control
Operating at 7200 RPM, Ultrastar 7K4000 offers better overall performance than slower RPM 
capacity-oriented drives, and does so at impressively low power-consumption rates. The 
Ultrastar 7K4000 can help data centers achieve lower AC power and HVAC requirements. 
With five Advanced Power Management modes, the 7K4000 achieves a 59% reduction in 
watts during low RPM idle mode, and uses less than 1W during standby/sleep modes, freeing 
up precious headroom for growing enterprise needs.
Innovating for a more sustainable environment
The Ultrastar 7K4000, with its halogen-free design and power-efficient operation, qualifies 
for the HGST EcoTrac classification, which identifies products that minimize environmental 
impact in the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.
