Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC590 26TB SATA 6Gb/s

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC590 is a 26TB capacity nearline hard drive utilizing CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) technology with ePMR (energy-assisted Perpendicular Magnetic Recording) for enhanced areal density. This drive represents the current capacity ceiling for SATA-based enterprise storage, enabling organizations to maximize storage density in rack-constrained environments while maintaining proven CMR reliability characteristics.

Designed for 24/7 operation in data center environments, the HC590 delivers sustained performance suitable for cloud storage infrastructure, large-scale archival systems, and hyperscale deployment scenarios. The drive combines high capacity with enterprise-class durability metrics, offering a compelling economics-per-terabyte profile for nearline storage tiers.

Ideal for

• Hyperscale data center expansion and cloud storage infrastructure capacity growth
• Large-scale archival and cold storage tier consolidation
• Video surveillance and security footage retention systems
• Scientific research data repositories and long-term institutional storage
• Backup and disaster recovery target capacity optimization
• Content distribution networks requiring high-capacity nearline staging
