Ultrastar™ C10K600 is a 2.5-inch 10,000 RPM hard drive that leads the pack with 18%

faster sequential and up to 15% random performance than other drives in its class. The

high-performance SAS 6Gb/s interface delivers data reliability, availability and scalability

and is the first small form factor SAS drive in the industry to pack a 64MB cache buffer to

optimize the read/write response time.

Power management innovations designed into the Ultrastar C10K600 enable industry-

leading power efficiency and translate into reduced power requirements and lower cooling

costs. HGST Advanced Power Management technology, with multi-state idle modes,

maintains compatibility with T10 direction and can be pre-programmed or manually

initiated in the system. Compared to 3.5-inch enterprise 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 HGST tradition of environmental leadership

with its halogen-reduced components and focus on low power consumption, and carries

the HGST EcoTrac classification.

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.
