- High density - up to 102 HGST HelioSeal HDDs providing great raw storage in a 4U enclosure
- Innovative - patented IsoVibe and ArcticFlow technologies improve performance and cooling
The Ultrastar Data102 is a key element of next-generation disaggregated storage and software-defined storage (SDS) systems, delivering extreme density and the flexibility to balance performance with cost. Conventional dense disk shelves frequently suffer from performance degradation due to induced vibration from adjacent drives. Traditional platforms also have cooling challenges as the cooling air passes over successive rows of drives, losing effectiveness as it gets heated up along the airflow path.
