Hitachi Ultrastar A7K2000 0F13700 / HUA722050CLA330 500GB 7.2K 3.5" SATA Hard Drive

Hitachi Ultrastar A7K2000  0F13700 / HUA722050CLA330 500GB 7.2K 3.5" Enterprise SATA Hard Drive - Brand New

Doubling The Capacity Density
As data center professionals across the globe work to meet growing enterprise needs, they
face the dilemma of storing more data in the same footprint while also reducing power and HVAC
consumption. The new Ultrastar™ A7K2000 provides twice the data storage capacity of the
prior generation Ultrastar A7K1000 drive, and does so using fewer watts. It is now possible to
achieve a colossal 1.2 petabytes (PB) in the footprint of a standard 19-inch enterprise storage
rack by deploying the 2TB A7K2000 in a stack of ten 4U, 60-bay enclosures.

Combining 7200 Rpm Performance And Granular Power Control
Operating at 7200 RPM, the HGST Ultrastar A7K2000 offers better overall performance than
slower-RPM, capacity-oriented drives at impressively low power-consumption rates. When
compared to the previous generation Ultrastar A7K1000, the A7K2000 offers up to a 155%
improvement in sustained data transfer rate, and a 120% improvement in watts-per-GB.
With five Advanced Power Management modes, a 36% reduction in watts during low-RPM
idle mode, and using less than 1W during standby/sleep mode, the Ultrastar A7K2000 can
help data centers achieve lower AC power and HVAC requirements, freeing up precious
headroom for growing enterprise needs.

Enhancing Data Safety And Security
To ensure the utmost in data safety and security, the Ultrastar A7K2000 is also available
with a bulk data encryption (BDE) option. When enabled, the HGST BDE implementation
encrypts all data on the drive using a private security key as it is written to the disk,
and then decrypts it with the key as it is retrieved, giving users an extreme level of data
protection. Unlike software-based encryption solutions, the HGST BDE implementation
is hardware-based, so it doesn’t slow the system down. This technology also speeds up
and simplifies the drive re-deployment and decommissioning process. By deleting the
encryption key, the data is rendered unreadable, thereby eliminating the need for timeconsuming,
multi-pattern data overwrite.

Delivering Industry-Leading Reliability
With a robust fourth-generation mechanical design, Ultrastar A7K2000 is specifically built
and tested for the enterprise. The Ultrastar SATA drive family features HGST-patented
Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) sensor technology, which optimizes drive reliability
in multi-drive RAID arrays and rack-mounted systems. Backed by a five-year warranty, the
Ultrastar platform has earned HGST a reputation among server and storage vendors as a
global partner dedicated to delivering the highest quality and reliability in the industry.

Innovation for a more sustainable environment
The Ultrastar A7K2000 demonstrates HGST ecological leadership with its halogen-free
design and power-efficient operation. Both these features serve to qualify the drive for the
HGST EcoTrac classification, which identifies products that minimize environmental impact
in the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.
