With its massive capacity and 2.5M MTBF (projected) reliability rating, the Ultrastar DC HC550 is ideal for object storage implementations. Object storage systems with erasure coding provide better data durability compared to RAID systems, given their tolerance for simultaneous error conditions.
The DC HC550 offers security and encryption options to help protect data from unauthorized use, including SED models in both SATA & SAS. A SED-FIPS will be available in a SAS configuration.
