Ekuqaleni kwale nyanga, iWestern Digital, ngesigaba sayo se-HGST, imemezele ukwethulwa kwe- hard drive yayo yokuqala engu-10TB . Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi bangeze ubuchwepheshe bamuva emkhakheni kanye nomthamo ophezulu kakhulu (otholakalayo njengamanje) embonini, futhi ibizwa nge- Ultrastar He10.
I-WD Ultrastar He10 isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe besizukulwane sesithathu se-hard drive obuqukethe i-helium ngaphakathi , esetshenziselwa ukunciphisa ukungqubuzana nokumelana ngenxa yokuthi i-helium inobuningi obuphansi kakhulu kunobomoya osemkhathini, umoya esivame ukuwuphefumula.
Ngenxa ye-helium ngaphakathi kuvumela ukusebenza okungcono kwediski elukhuni, kuyivumela jika ngokushesha, ukhiphe ukushisa okuncane futhi ekugcineni unciphise amandla udinga ukugijima ngejubane eliphezulu. Lokhu kuzomela ngokusobala ukuyinikeza impilo ende esebenzisekayo futhi nokuthembeka okungcono nokuthe xaxa.
Naphezu kokwanda kwama-SSD, ama-hard drive ayaqhubeka nokubeka indinganiso kumaseva nakwezinye izinkambu lapho isidingo semishini enekhono lokugcina idatha elikhula njalo sibaluleke kakhulu, kanye nokuthembeka okudingekayo ekusebenzeni amahora angama-24 ngosuku, izinsuku eziyi-7 ngesonto. Ngalokhu engqondweni, i-Ultrastar He10 isebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokuqopha obuqondile , obufaneleka kangcono izidingo zamaseva nezikhungo zedatha.
I-Ultrastar He10 idinga amandla amancane, ikakhulukazi amandla angaphansi ngo-56% uma kuqhathaniswa nezizukulwane zangaphambilini zama-hard drive, futhi ngesivinini sokujikeleza esingu-7200 revolutions ngomzuzu, amakhono okubethela idatha, kanye nama-megabytes angu-256 e-cache, futhi itholakala ngesimo sefomu esingu-3,5-intshi futhi isekela i-SATA ku-6Gbps kanye ne-SAS kuma-interface angu-12Gbps, iyi-hard drive enamandla eyenzelwe ukusetshenziswa njengesitoreji samafayela kanye ne-backup drive, hhayi njenge-HDD evamile yokusetshenziswa kwansuku zonke, yize kunjalo, lokho akukuvimbeli ekuthengeni eyodwa yekhompyutha yakho.
Ngaphezu kwazo zonke izici zobuchwepheshe nezinzuzo ezinikezwa yilolu buchwepheshe obuhle, i-WD inikeza iwaranti yeminyaka emihlanu futhi iqinisekisa amahora ayizigidi ezingu-2,5 phakathi kokwehluleka.
