Industry’s Best Capacity, Power Efficiency and Reliability Delivers Value to the Data Center
 Laying the foundation for a worry-free data center, Western Digital delivers an 
exceptional capacity hard drive for the enterprise – Ultrastar DC HC510, previously 
known as Ultrastar He10 and part of our HC500 series of helium-filled hard drives. 
Designed to handle workloads up to 550TB per year, the Ultrastar DC HC510 uses PMR 
technology and is the industry’s first 10TB drive that is drop-in ready for any enterprise
capacity application or environment. Based on field proven, third-generation

HelioSeal® technology, it offers one of the lowest power profiles in the industry to help data center 
architects meet eco-environmental goals and requirements. Targeted at 2.5M hours 
MTBF, the DC HC510 provides the highest reliability rating available of all HDDs on the 
market today by building on the successful design of its 8TB and 6TB predecessors. Trust 
Western Digital and Ultrastar DC HC510 to deliver more capacity, more efficiency, more 
reliability and more value to your data center. 

HelioSeal® Technology Helps Solve Challenges Facing Next Generation Data Centers
 Data centers are facing growing pressures. Data volume is expanding, operating costs 
are rising, yet budgets remain flat. Lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) has 
become the focus of data center architects and the Ultrastar DC HC510 provides the 
best value proposition and greatest storage efficiency available. Compared to our 8TB 
air-filled drives, this HelioSeal hard drive provides 25% more capacity, uses 28% less 
idle power, is 43% more power efficient (Watts/TB), and is 25% more reliable, rated 
at 2.5M hours MTBF. New features include a second-generation, dual-stage actuator—
 the Western Digital Micro-Actuator—enhancing head-positioning accuracy to deliver 
better performance, data integrity and overall drive reliability, especially in multi-drive 
environments where operational vibration is present. Refer to our technical brief to learn 
more. A choice of 6Gb/s SATA and 12Gb/s SAS interface enables easy integration into 
high performance data centers. 

Data Durability and Security with Industry-Leading Quality and Reliability
 As drive capacity grows beyond single-digit TBs, object storage systems with erasure 
coding provide better data durability compared to RAID systems, given its tolerance 
for simultaneous errors conditions. Ultrastar DC HC510 is a best-fit for object storage 
implementations given its massive capacity and industry-leading reliability rating. 
Compliance and privacy requirements drive the need for increased data security. 
Ultrastar DC HC510 offers security and encryption options to protect data from 
unauthorized use, including a new option for TCG support on some SATA models. 

Western Digital Quality and Service 
Ultrastar DC HC510 extends Western Digital’s long-standing tradition of performance 
and capacity leadership. The proven drive design enables high reliability and availability 
to customer data. Ultrastar quality, performance and world class technical service 
and support provides customers with a lower total cost of ownership over previous 
generations. Ultrastar drives are backed by an array of technical support and services, 
which may include customer and integration assistance. Dedicated to providing a 
complete portfolio of devices and systems, Western Digital products help create 
environments for data to thrive.
